Spectris has acquired the business and assets of the Canadian company La Corporation Scientifique Claisse Inc for an undisclosed sum.
 
Claisse designs, manufactures and sells consumables and instruments used to prepare consistent and comparable samples for spectroscopic analysis in mining, pharmaceutical, academic research and industrial applications. Claisse will become part of the Materials Analysis segment and will be integrated into PANalytical, combining two leaders in fusion and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis.
 
Eoghan O’Lionaird, Spectris Business Group director, said: “We believe there is a strong cultural fit with PANalytical, and that the combined capabilities will create significant value for our XRF customers, as well as increasing PANalytical’s resilient revenues.”
