New Product: New 64-Bit Windows 7 Microspectroscopy Software

CRAIC Technologies, a leading manufacturer of UV-visible-NIR microspectrometers, is please to release the 64-bit version of it's MINERVA™ microspectroscopy software package. This software is designed to collect, analyze and process microspectra™ from CRAIC microspectrophotometers running 64-bit versions of Windows 7. MINERVA-64™ is designed for both industrial processes and scientific research. It is simple to use yet contains many advanced spectroscopic control and analysis features.

The complete MINERVA-64™ solution combines advanced 64-bit software with the sophisticated hardware and optics of CRAIC UV-visible-NIR range microspectrometers. The MINERVA-64™ software allows the user to control CRAIC microspectrophotometers and to acquire high quality ultraviolet, color and near infrared spectra of microscopic samples by absorbance, reflectance or fluorescence. The software is then used to analyze those microspectra™. Designed for the production environment as well as the laboratory, it incorporates a number sophisticated tools for analyzing spectra. It also incorporates two modes of operation: a production level with recipe driven instrument control and data analysis in addition to a password protected engineering mode for creating those recipes and for advanced research.

"Our customers want to use our MINERVA™ software with the latest generation of 64-bit processors for even greater performance. The MINERVA-64™ software was developed in response to customer requests for a high performance package to control CRAIC microspectrophotometers situated on both the manufacturing floor as well as those in the R&D laboratory. Two levels of access are provided to address both of these functions while maintaining the powerful analytical features" - Dr. Paul Martin, President, CRAIC Technologies
