Corona virus-COVID-19 Update
The global spread and impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak is affecting all of us but the Elliot Scientific Team are continuing to support customers and researchers to maintain the business supply chain during this challenging time.
We have taken steps to mitigate the transmission of the virus within the team here in the UK and to protect our employees – thus many have adopted a more flexible and safer working practice (staff are working from home, reduced attendance or are out of the office during periods of self isolation/ distancing measures).
Our remote IT systems will enable us to accept orders, respond to customers enquiries and whilst we will endeavour to fulfill shipments as normal, some deliveries may occasionally be affected – in which case we will inform you of any impact on your particular order.
We will continue to monitor the situation and inform our customers or any changes or amendments.

WITec Raman imaging system installed in our lab for training

We’ve just installed a WITec apyron Raman imaging system in our demonstration lab here in Harpenden. The apyron was developed by WITec to straddle the boundary between ease-of-use and the ultimate in conformal capability. As such, it is ideal for:
- Labs with multiple users of varied skill levels and requirements
- Raman newcomers requiring advanced imaging
- Accomplished Raman spectroscopists seeking superior performance
- Industrial labs doing repeat experiments within limited time periods
apyron sets the benchmark for automated Raman imaging systems; delivering excellent images with outstanding spectral and spatial resolution. The ultra-fast acquisition times and exceptional signal sensitivity, combined with automated system configurations and intuitive measurement procedures, make the award-winning apyron the instrument of choice for many labs.
Now you can have the chance to experience the system first-hand. We will be running Raman imaging workshops in the near future, so watch this space.
In the meantime, for more information please visit WITec Raman imaging systems or contact us.
