Know-how is given by the years of research activities of the Laboratory of laser spectroscopy (Brno University of Technology) and the Laboratory of analytical chemistry (Masaryk University), which are specialised in LIBS methods since 1997.

The founding members come from these labs. Due to the strong binding to the Institute of Physical Engineering (BUT) and Institute of Machine and Industrial Design (BUT) the R&D team was always oriented also to the development of the LIBS instrumentation. So besides the LIBS researchers, the AtomTrace team includes also specialists on machine design, electronics and software development. Long-term cooperation with other institutes, such as the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, enables to include experts from related science fields.

Environmentally Friendly analysis
It uses green and clean technology and is relatively simple to use in comparison to other techniques based on mass spectroscopy or utilising electron or ion beams.

Remote and in-situ analysis when required
It is not even necessary to bring the sample to the lab. You can bring the “lab” to the sample and analyze distance samples or samples in dangerous or inaccessible environment.

Strong Technology Base
AtomTrace has been founded as a startup from the Central European Institute of Technology (Brno, CZ) and strongly cooperates with this newly born centre in the fields of life sciences, advanced materials and technologies. We have long-term cooperation also with other institutions, such as Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and Faculty of Science on Masaryk University.
