B&W Tek
B&W Tek, Inc. is an advanced instrumentation company producing optical spectroscopy, laser instrumentation and portable/lab grade Raman systems.
About B&W Tek
Established in 1997 in Newark, Delaware, B&W Tek began as a producer of custom diode lasers and diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers. The company was founded by Dr. Sean Wang. Over the years, the company has expanded its expertise into photonic laser, spectrometer, and chemometric technologies.
B&W Tek specializes in the development of mobile spectroscopy solutions and laser instrumentation, positioning itself as a leader in the manufacturing of portable Raman spectrometers. Its product lineup includes a range of high-performance Raman, LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy), and NIR (Near-Infrared) spectrometers. These instruments are designed for various applications, from laboratory research to on-site material analysis on loading docks.
The company serves a diverse client base across the pharmaceutical, biomedical, chemical, safety and security, and medical device industries, as well as research and educational communities. Its business model involves the design, manufacturing, and sale of these advanced analytical instruments. In July 2018, B&W Tek was acquired by the Metrohm Group, a Swiss-based global manufacturer of high-precision instruments for chemical analysis. This acquisition integrated B&W Tek's strengths in portable Raman spectroscopy into Metrohm's extensive product portfolio, creating a comprehensive provider of spectroscopy solutions.
