About Teledyne Photon Machines

Our company specializes in advanced, laser-based, instrumentation with integrated detectors to gauge the presence and concentration of elements, end-points and isotope ratios plus we have a broad selection of sample introduction systems for mass spectrometry.

Our products are distinguished by their accuracy, repeatability and utility through non-conventional means and address fundamental issues that impact performance such as fractionation cause and effect, sample transport, plasma dynamics and environmental influences. Innovations range from the rapid integration of unique technologies to hybrid configurations and software that facilitates method development and data reduction.

We offer instrumentation for the laboratory, deployable devices for field or on-site use, plus in-process equipment for real-time processing, measurement and control. Whether gas, liquid or solid, our processing, analysis and identification solutions tackle all forms of matter. Whatever the challenge we look forward to your call.

Photon Machines joined forces with Teledyne CETAC back in June 2010 with a view to advance laser ablation technology for elemental analysis, and to offer a full range of products globally. This collaboration brought together the experience in Photon Machines' design team with the sample introduction expertise of CETAC. This partnership has taken the next natural step and both companies have merged under the Teledyne Instruments banner.

Today, Teledyne Photon Machines, now a brand of Teledyne FLIR, provides laser ablation systems ranging from CO2 and diode lasers, through 213 nm solid state Nd:YAG, 193 excimer laser systems and femtosecond laser systems. In addition to this, the company provides accessories to enhance the capabilities of laser ablation systems. ​
