## Our Mission

CRAIC Technologies manufactures superior microspectrophotometers for science and industrial applications. We specialize in the UV, visible and NIR regions and pride ourselves in making the finest tools for the finest minds.

Since CRAIC’s founding, our mission has been to become the leading provider of superior quality optical tools and superior support for the customers who use those tools. We manufacture the best quality microspectrophotometers and UV-visible-NIR microscopes and Raman microspectrometers bar none.

## The Company

### **CRAIC Technologies: Pioneers in Optical Tools for Advanced Microscopy**

Since its inception, CRAIC Technologies has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge optical tools for the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions. Our product lineup includes microspectrophotometers (also known as microspectrometers or microscope spectrometers) capable of capturing spectra from samples smaller than a micron. Additionally, we design and build UV-visible-NIR range microscopes, enabling the non-destructive, contact-free acquisition of full spectral range fluorescence, transmission, and reflectance spectra and images from any microscopic sample.

CRAIC manufactures both scientific-grade systems and specialized equipment for industries such as semiconductor inspection and pharmaceutical metrology. Our offerings also include the world’s only NIST Traceable Standards specifically designed for microspectrophotometers, alongside specialized software packages.

CRAIC excels in the following micro-analytical techniques:

- UV-Visible-NIR microspectroscopy
- UV-Visible-NIR microscopy
- Microcolorimetry
- Transmission microspectroscopy & microscopy
- Reflectance microspectroscopy & microscopy
- Fluorescence microspectroscopy & microscopy
- Photoluminescence microspectroscopy
- Polarization microspectroscopy & microscopy
- Raman microspectroscopy
- Kinetic microspectroscopy
- Microspot thin film thickness measurements & mapping
- Spectral modeling

With unparalleled experience in designing, developing, manufacturing, and installing microspectrophotometers, CRAIC is dedicated to maintaining the highest level of excellence in both products and service. Trust CRAIC Technologies to provide the advanced optical solutions you need for your most demanding applications.
