Centice Corporation, a pioneer in next generation
sensor technology, today announced that veteran
pharmacy industry executive Alan B. Levin has been
named to its board.
August 15, 2007
Mr. Levin was formerly chairman, president and
CEO of Happy Harry's, a leading regional drugstore
chain with 2,700 employees and stores in Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, until it was
acquired by the Walgreen Company in 2006. "Alan is
one of the most respected and talented executives in
the pharmacy industry, and we are thrilled to have
him join the board," commented Ray W. Swanson,
Centice's president and CEO. "His knowledge of the

With new CEO, Centice plans to hire 18, move to Morrisville
July 20, 2006
A Triangle technology startup plans to nearly double its staff by the end of the year and more than triple its office space. Centice Corp., which was spun out of Duke University in 2004, said Wednesday it will move from a 4,200 square-foot office space in Durham to a 13,800 square-foot building off Southport Drive in Morrisville. According to the company's Web site, the move will take place by Aug. 7. Also Wednesday, Centice named Ray Swanson CEO. Swanson announced his resignation earlier this week as senior vice president of commercial operations at TriPath Imaging in Burlington.

A Paradigm Shift in Molecular Spectroscopy
June 2006
Over the last twenty years there have been only minor advancements in the technologies used in instruments designed for molecular spectroscopy. Commonly slit or "pinhole" apertures are used to spatially define the light entering the section of the spectrometer where the light is separated and analyzed.

Ocean Optics forms Alliances
May 2006
Ocean Optics Inc. of Dunedin, Fla., and Centice Corp. of Research
Triangle Park, N.C., have entered into an agreement under which
Ocean Optics will add Centice's multimodal multiplex spectroscopy
technology to its product portfolio. The Raman spectroscopy
system uses a coded wide-area aperture instead of a conventional
pinhole or slit entrance to provide high optical throughput
without an increase in noise. |

Multimodal Multiplex Sampling spectrometers
May 10, 2006
Dispersive spectrometers come in two basic designs: scanned-grating
monochromators and static grating designs with detector arrays.
With the availability of inexpensive linear detectors and charge
coupled devices (CCDs) in the UV/Visible/NIR region, dispersive
spectrometers are moving away from scanned-grating designs to
static implementations. These are preferred for their single
shot measurements, fast data acquisition times and high mechanical
reliability.

Centice unveiled its Multimodal Multiplex Spectroscopy (MMS)
technology
May 2006 Issue
Centice, from Durham, North Carolina, US, has unveiled its Multimodal
Multiplex Spectroscopy (MMS) technology which provides 10 to
100 times higher optical throughput compared with slit and fibre
coupled spectrometers. MMS technology uses an encoded wide area
aperture instead of the slit in conventional spectrometers,
thus providing extremely high throughput with no sacrifice in
spectral resolution. The large area encoded aperture yields
3.5X to 12X the signal-to-noise (SNR) as compared with slit
based instruments with equivalent resolution. This extreme sensitivity
is achieved without compromising spectral resolution in UV/Vis,
NIR, Raman and fluorescence measurement. |

First UV-vis multimodal multiplex spectrometer
April 20, 2006
Newport describes its new Oriel Matrix spectrometer as the first
UV-vis MMS (multimodal multiplex spectroscopy) spectrometer.
MMS patent-pending technology removes the primary limitation
imposed on traditional dispersive instruments - the tradeoff
between throughput and resolution. As a result, the Oriel Matrix
spectrometer delivers 12 times more throughput and SNR than
traditional spectrometers, without compromising resolution,
says the company.

Cover Story
April 3, 2006-05-25
Ocean Optics and Newport each displayed new instruments based
on Centice Multimodal Multiplex Spectroscopy (MMS) technology,
which was introduced at Pittcon 2005. Centice's technology utilizes
a wide-area aperture with an encoded mask, instead of a conventional
pinhole or thin slit, along with a charge-coupled device detector
for better signal-to-noise performance in optical spectroscopy.
Ocean Optics' MMS Raman spectrometer is useful for weak, diffuse
light signals and covers the 220- to 2,000-cm?1 spectral range
with 4-cm?1 resolution. Newport's MMS UV-Vis spectrometer is
capable of measuring very weak signals in the 190- to 500-nm
spectral range with 0.6-nm resolution.designs.

In a paper titled, "High resolution and high throughput optical
spectroscopy with Multimodal Multiplex Sampling," Dr. Prasant
Potuluri, CTO of Centice, will explain the company's MMS technology
that uses an encoded wide area aperture instead of a slit, thus
providing extremely high throughput with no sacrifice in spectral
resolution. The large area encoded aperture yields 3.5X to 12X
the signal-to-noise (SNR) as compared with slit based instruments
with equivalent resolution. This extreme sensitivity is achieved
