Thermo Fisher Scientific are delighted to announce that Antech Solutions of Ireland has won their prestigious award for Best Pharma/Chem Partner of the Year 2011 - EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India & Africa) at their annual PAI (Portable Analytical Instrument - TruScan & TruScan RM Raman, microPHAZIR NIR, TruDefenderFT FTIR etc) Business Partner Meeting which was held in Lisbon, Portugal, Jan 16th to 19th.   Olaf Haupt, Sales & Marketing Director for EMEIA at Thermo Fisher Scientific, commended Antech for this high achievement and stated at the ceremony: "This award - Partner of the Year in the Region is defined as the partner that has best demonstrated the 4-Is.  I’m guessing that many of you haven’t heard about the 4-Is – these stand for Intensity, Innovation, Integrity, and Involvement and are the basis of Thermo Fisher’s core values.   For this year we would like to recognize Antech for showing these values.  Antech have worked tirelessly this year... With great intensity and innovation Antech have finished the year on a high... A special thank you should be noted to team Antech!" 


  • Launch of microPHAZIR GP (Handheld NIR)


microPHAZIR GP
applications include:

1. Food/feed raw material identification
2. Finished product screening (i.e., plastic shavings from a conveyer belt or mislabeled raw materials)
3. Analysis of liquids, solids and pastes (i.e., liquids like alcohol, solids like grains/wheat and pastes like toothpaste or shampoo
4. Incoming chemical raw-material ID (i.e., flavouring, starch, sugars, vitamins)
