How does our Method Development service work?
It is precisely to meet this need that we offer our method development and optimization service. The goal: to support you in establishing a reliable, high-performance method tailored to your samples, constraints, and analytical objectives.

Minimize your sample volume requirements with MiniFlow
The MiniFlow is a low-volume circulation system that offers all the advantages of a standard system while drastically reducing the amount of dispersant and sample required. Contrary to popular belief, working with small volumes does not mean compromising on the quality of results.

Laboratory training vs. on-site customer training: Which format should you choose?
So, should you opt for in-lab training or on-site training? To choose the most suitable format, it is important to consider the training objectives, the users’ skill level, and the laboratory’s operational constraints. In this article, we help you understand the differences between these two approaches so you can identify the most relevant solution for you and your teams.

Start the year off right: plan your consumables needs to avoid shortages
Poor anticipation of consumable stocks can lead to shortages that can shut down an instrument that is otherwise fully operational. These interruptions have a direct impact on your analysis times, the reliability of your results, your production, and ultimately the satisfaction of your customers or partners.

Why it's time to update your LabSpec 6 (and how ParticleFinder v4.0 will change your daily routine)
With the new LabSpec 6.8.2 version, we wanted to do more than just an update: we have redesigned part of the workflow around ParticleFinder, now in version 4.0. The goal is to help you analyze faster, better, and with more automation, without sacrificing scientific rigor.

Discover everything you need to know about our absorption accessory
Simple and quick to use, ABS-ACC transforms your HORIBA fluorometer into a two-in-one instrument, eliminating the need for a separate, often more expensive UV-Vis spectrophotometer. It is particularly useful for monitoring sample concentration and determining whether absorbance is too high, thus ensuring linear and representative fluorescence.

How does the DIP accessory work?
However, until recently, a major challenge remained: how to accurately convert the sputtering time into an actual depth measurement, given that the erosion rate varies depending on the layers traversed? This is where the DIP (Differential Interferometric Profiling) accessory, developed and patented (WO15166189A1 & WO18119410A1) by HORIBA's Innovation team, comes in. It is integrated into the latest generation of GD devices

The Human Expertise Artificial Intelligence can’t replace
The reliability of the information is also a factor because, once you have completed HORIBA training, you will not need to check the data, cross-reference the information, or verify the sources. Our experts have a profound understanding of their subject matter and know what they are talking about.

Why should you be trained on the ICP NEO software?
By training on the NEO software, you will discover much more than just a tool for managing your analyses: you will learn how to fully exploit the potential of your HORIBA Ultima spectrometer. Training on the NEO software will simplify the daily use of your instrument. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, you will benefit from a clear interface.

Discover how our DeltaPsi2 software can help you process and analyze your thin film data
We recommend investing in our DeltaPsi2 software for your thin film data analysis, as it offers versatility for everything from fundamental research to industrial testing. It provides reliable, high-precision analysis of complex structures and enables efficiency in research by saving valuable time and providing usable results.

Why should you get trained on your HORIBA instrument?
By choosing HORIBA training, you benefit from the unique expertise of your instrument's manufacturer. Our application engineers draw not only on their technical expertise, but also on field experience and feedback from users around the world.

What are the benefits of ceramic crucibles for gas analysis?
High-purity ceramic crucibles emit very little residual gas during heating. This is crucial to prevent interference and guarantee accurate measurements, especially when analyzing gases such as carbon or sulfur.

Filters and O-rings: when and why should they be replaced?
Measuring instruments are high-precision tools that require regular maintenance to ensure optimum performance and a long service life. Your HORIBA instrument, which is a fundamental part of your laboratory and indispensable to your research and analysis, needs to be carefully maintained.

The expertise of our service engineers: an essential pillar in the face of Artificial Intelligence
At HORIBA France, service engineers play an essential role for our customers, not only by maintaining equipment, but also by providing unrivalled know-how and in-depth understanding of the instruments and environments in which they operate.
