The beginning was difficult, and the company started with service and spare parts sales for commercial ICP spectrometers in 1987 as a one-man operation with the founder Friedhelm Rickert.

An ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) spectrometer is an analytical device used to determine toxic elements in liqu…

After initially being used mainly in medical technology, pharmaceuticals, and the chip industry, the purity requirements for the production environment have now also significantly increased in plastics processing. As a result, increasingly particle-free and, depending on the product, even germ-free…

The requirements for cleanliness or purity of laboratory environments have increased significantly, especially in analytical laboratories and research. Particulate-free conditions are often a must here, becoming even more important as the sensitivity of instrumental analysis systems improves, so tha…

The Minister of Health warns that the pandemic is far from over. The World Health Organization (WHO) still classifies it as a global pandemic and has currently even increased its assessment of the threat potential. At the beginning of the pandemic and even last year, the WHO stated that SARS-CoV-19…

Extremely clean conditions are becoming increasingly important in research, production, and medicine. Parts or components from mechanics, electronics, optoelectronics, medical, or biotechnological fields are assembled or stored with high process reliability. Custom variants tailored for problematic…

Fine dust consists of a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles and is classified into different fractions depending on their size.

Distinguished are PM10 and PM2.5 (PM, particulate matter) with a maximum diameter of 10 and 2.5 micrometers (µm), and ultrafine particles with a diameter of less…

Particles and germs are ubiquitous in ambient and indoor air. Only through proper cleaning of the room air can suspended particles be removed from the air. Among the various technical options for cleaning room air, filter techniques have proven particularly effective because they offer an affordable…

In addition to environmental pollution caused by harmful substances, humans are increasingly exposed to a new source of danger: rising noise pollution. Persistent stress caused by noise can lead to health problems. The health-damaging effects of noise are very diverse. They range from serious hearin…

Whether in medical, pharmaceutical, or semiconductor manufacturing: for many industries, producing and fabricating components in a clean or particle-free environment is becoming increasingly important. The main application of the Spetec Cleanroom Workbench or Mini-Environment is in the optical, elec…

Everyone knows it. Everyone has it. The FFP2 mask. It protects us from aerosols expelled by our fellow humans when speaking and breathing. It also protects others from aerosols, which are fine droplets in the exhaled air that we emit ourselves. Currently, we need to protect ourselves from these aero…
