Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, a company that serves science, announced on Monday that it has launched the Thermo Scientific Hypulse Surface Analysis System, a next-generation instrument for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth-profiling.

Designed to accelerate materials research, the Hypulse system enables deeper, more accurate analysis of surfaces to support industries from energy storage and fire protection to medical implants. In healthcare applications, the technology could inform the development of coatings that improve biocompatibility, durability and infection resistance.

The system is distinguished by its use of femtosecond laser technology for material removal, allowing faster data collection, greater depth penetration and improved preservation of sample accuracy.

Thermo Fisher said the Hypulse platform represents a step forward in creating better materials and enhancing industrial applications, advancing its mission to enable customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.
