Used ULVAC / PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS / PHI / PERKIN ELMER Equipment for sale

ULVAC, founded in 1952, is a Japanese manufacturing company that specializes in providing advanced vacuum technologies and equipment. Initially focusing on vacuum components and systems, ULVAC expanded its product line to include various technologies such as thin film deposition, semiconductor manufacturing, and surface analysis. One of ULVAC's renowned subsidiaries is Physical Electronics (PHI). Established in 1969, PHI became a distinguished name in the field of surface analysis, particularly in producing electron spectrometers. These instruments allowed for meticulous analysis of the elemental composition and chemical states of various materials. PHI's range of spectrometers included Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), and Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). In 2001, PHI was acquired by another well-known analytical equipment manufacturer, PerkinElmer. This acquisition enhanced PerkinElmer's surface analysis division and incorporated PHI's cutting-edge technologies into their existing product portfolio. PerkinElmer, founded in 1937, has a longstanding history of providing scientific instruments and services across several domains - including atomic spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Together, PHI and PerkinElmer continued to advance the field of materials characterization through their comprehensive range of spectroscopy and surface analysis solutions. Their collaboration resulted in the development of powerful spectrometers that combined PHI's expertise in surface analysis with PerkinElmer's innovative technology. ULVAC / PHI / PerkinElmer played a crucial role in scientific research, engineering, and industrial applications by providing industry-leading instruments capable of precise analysis and characterization of materials.
