Tailored OEM Solutions from Andor Technology

Contact our team of OEM Experts

With years of academic and industrial experience, Andor's OEM experts specialize in the creation of complete system solutions, from tailored collection optics and spectrographs to software that gives you the levels of control and functionality you require - whether you are creating a brand new analytical device, or incorporating new functionality into an existing configuration.

Andor has, over the last 5 years, sold cameras and detectors into 9 of the top 20 global industry leaders in the areas of Spectroscopic instruments, Life Sciences, Surface Science Instruments and X-Ray, with our products forming an integral part of our industrial partners' instrumentation.

• Spectroscopic instruments are used for various scientific techniques such as Raman fluorescence, ICP and Arc Spark and applications in areas such as process control, quality control and forensic analysis.
• Life Sciences solutions are used in high throughput screening, genomics, genetic and proteomic analysis.
• Surface science techniques are primarily devoted to the microscopic analysis of material surfaces and are used by the semiconductor and electronics industry as well as the aerospace, metals and polymer industries. Some of the techniques are also being used in the life science applications for examining live cells and tissue samples.
• X-Ray instruments are used in medical imaging applications or industrial testing. X-ray diffraction is a non-destructive technique that probes properties of solids; particularly crystals and powders made of small-scale crystals.
• Industrial applications across the varied fields of Chemicals/Mining, Electronics, Food Biopharma, Photovoltaics and Security are also addressed by Andor's extensive range of imaging, spectroscopy and x-ray solutions.

World Class Research and Manufacturing Facilities

In November 2004, Andor relocated to its present day premises, a purpose-built 50,000 ft² factory in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This facility includes optical, electronic and mechanical workshops, class 10,000 and class 1,000 clean rooms, vacuum and electronic processing facilities.

Andor's superior vacuum process UltraVac™ ensures that our cameras have no vacuum failures, no leaks, no maintenance and no re-pumping. The UltraVac™ process takes place within the class 10,000 clean room, ensuring that there are fewer than 10,000 particles of less than 0.5μm dimension for every cubic meter. The air is fully replenished every minute and the temperature and humidity are controlled. All personnel must wear body suits, overshoes and a hat, with the clothing having been woven with carbon fiber to minimize static discharge.

First in Quality

Andor runs many quality improvement programmes, including some that are focused on its manufacturing process and yield improvement. Operating a quality management system since 1998, the company fully complies with the requirements of BS EN ISO9001:2000.
