Horiba Acquires Photon Technology International Business
Horiba Scientific (Edison, New Jersey) has acquired Photon Technology International (PTI) (Birmingham, New Jersey).
Horiba Scientific (Edison, New Jersey) has acquired Photon Technology International (PTI) (Birmingham, New Jersey). PTI is a supplier of research spectrofluorometers, serving the university and research laboratories as well as industrial and biomedical markets.
The acquisition of PTI’s worldwide business assets is aimed at increasing Horiba’s market share in fluorescence spectroscopy through PTI’s established network in the biomedical field and leadership position in techniques such as intracellular ion imaging. These techniques are considered crucial in areas such as understanding cellular processes for regenerative medical therapies and developing next-generation food and agricultural products. All of these application areas have expectations for rapid growth.
Real-Time Battery Health Tracking Using Fiber-Optic Sensors
April 9th 2025A new study by researchers from Palo Alto Research Center (PARC, a Xerox Company) and LG Chem Power presents a novel method for real-time battery monitoring using embedded fiber-optic sensors. This approach enhances state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimations, potentially improving the efficiency and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (xEVs).
