For over 40 years, Kratos Analytical has provided state-of-the-art spectrometers for both surface and biochemical analysis, and we are committed to continuing with development of leading technologies. As we approach our fifth decade, Kratos Analytical is still dedicated to providing service, quality and customer satisfaction, and we believe that this specialist web area will help you find the information you need for your surface analytical applications.

We are world leaders in the development and application of the XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) for the analysis of the surface properties of a wide range of materials that are more and more being found in everyday use. Also our MALDI (Matrix Associated Laser Desorption and Ionisation) mass spectrometry business is recognised to be at the forefront of its development and application as applied to the analysis of biomolecules and more recently to its introduction into an invitro-diagnostic role.

We are proud to develop and manufacture products in Manchester, while both business areas utilise the latest in high speed digital and analogue electronics as well as ion optics design methodologies and software development techniques to push the boundaries of the techniques and their applications. Kratos Analytical has full ISO 9001 accreditation underpinning an effective quality system. All new products must go through exhaustive evaluation steps before being launched in the market.

Kratos Analytical has its headquaters in Manchester, UK and offices in the USA, Germany and Japan. We have a large network of agents and representatives throughout the world. The Kratos Analytical Ltd is based in Manchester, UK, and prides itself on being highly innovative, responsive, and internationally focused.
