One of Northern Ireland’s most successful university spinouts has created 10 new jobs and set its sights on £20 million worth of exports for its newly developed microscope.
Andor Technologies said its Benchtop Confocal Microscope is the product of a multimillion pound research and development project which will allow it to target new export markets with what it described as disruptive technology.
The microscope’s relatively compact size and value proposition has already found interest from pharmaceutical organisations and smaller universities which can’t afford or don’t have the space for the standard, more expensive equipment.
