WITec has received a 2022 R&D 100 Award in the Analytical/Test category for the cryoRaman very low-temperature molecular imaging system. This instrument, created in cooperation with technology partner attocube systems AG, was deemed one of the year’s most innovative commercial product introductions. 

The R&D 100 Awards, organized by R&D World magazine, is a program that celebrates new devices and materials for their technological significance. A panel of expert judges reviews submissions from across the industry and the Analytical/Test category recognizes laboratory advancements specifically.

“We’re very proud of cryoRaman, it’s an innovation in the truest sense. The capability it provides to the researcher simply didn’t exist before,” said Joachim Koenen, Ph.D., WITec co-founder and managing director. “We’re very grateful to our development team for their hard work, our partners at attocube for their exceptional cooperation, and to R&D World for this great distinction.”

cryoRaman integrates a Raman microscope with a cryogenic sample chamber to enable high-resolution chemical characterization at extremely low temperatures and in strong magnetic fields. This unique and versatile combination will benefit many leading-edge areas of research, including investigations of phase transitions and novel 2D materials.
