About
The University of Southampton awarded a contract to Electro Scientific Industries (Europe) Ltd for a comprehensive upgrade to the existing excimer laser ablation sampling system at the Ocean and Earth Science Geochemistry Facility.
The system, a New Wave UP193FX with an ATL ATLEX-SI ArF excimer laser installed in 2009 in a Class 1000 cleanroom, was upgraded to achieve specifications comparable to current-generation systems while reusing existing components to reduce overall cost.
The contract value was £102,000.
