Bringing research and development capabilities in house reduces the need to collaborate with external partners or rely on third party technology, especially for the more complex and highly innovative aspects of our business. Now, our lab is fully equipped with best-in-class analytical technology to dramatically speed up our new product innovation. As the world continues to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, enhanced battery technology will play a key role.
Producing renewable energy from sources such as solar power or wind farms is just the start. Finding a way to store that energy effectively and in an optimized, long-life format suitable for electric grid applications is essential. We chose to work with a market leading supplier to benefit from their product quality and experience in creating a fully integrated lab, with a comprehensive service contract that covers the entire installation – enhancing our research and development.

Effective energy storage will continue to play a significant role in driving sustainable initiatives in areas such as electric vehicles and smart phone technology. In the global drive to generate and store new, cleaner sources of energy, we can provide the technology and support to give new and agile businesses the space to innovate.
The order features products from across Bruker’s entire product portfolio, including XRF and XRD spectroscopy (D8 Discover Plus, M4 Tornado, D2 Phaser), FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy (HYPERION II, INVENIO-X, OMEGA 5, ALPHA II and SENTERRA II) and NMR spectroscopy (AVANCE NEO).
