BTS offers a range of products for use in the polymers and plastics industries.

Molecular Spectroscopy for Chemical Characterization

• SOL Instruments
  SOL Instruments manufactures Raman microscopy instrumentation for the chemical analysis of polymers and plastics.
• You may find information on their Raman microscopes at:https://barnett-technical.com/products-category/confocal-raman-microscopes-sol-instruments/

• Luceo
  Luceo offers the LSM series of polarimeters that are used for monitoring stress in injection-molded plastics. This has particular value for monitoring cell phone lens production.
• Information on the LSM-9000 series of products may be found here: https://barnett-technical.com/luceo/polariscopes
• Strain measurements on micro lenses are the subject of a Steve’s Solution found here:

Failure Analysis

• Micro Support manufactures a benchtop micromanipulator that is well-suited for particle isolation and precise microsampling.
• A number of Steve’s Solutions related to this system have been written, including:
• Particle and defect isolation: Particle and Defect isolation with a benchtop micromanipulator.
• The use of a micromanipulator for glovebox operation and safe lab operations: Failure Analysis and Particle Isolation in a Post-Covid-19 World
• The use of a micromanipulator and a nanoinjector to precisely deliver a small volume of liquid to a surface: Precise Liquid Micromanipulation on Various Surfaces
