Unlocking Molecular Insights
SOLUTIONS
Atonarp is advancing semiconductor metrology, industrial process control, and in vitro diagnostics through digital molecular profiling.
We are innovating next-generation mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy platforms. Both platforms offer specialized instruments tailored to solve molecular sensing and analysis needs across a wide range of industries.
Semiconductor Process Control
ASTON Impact and ASTON Plasma are robust, high speed, high-sensitivity mass spectrometers that can withstand the harsh, corrosive gas environments required for advanced semiconductor in-situ process control. They deliver actionable, quantitative data needed to optimize processes and improve yield.
Select Application Areas:
- Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) :
Speed with sensitivity to optimize throughput and safety management - Etch / ALE endpoint
Sensitivity for dielectric and metal etch endpoint detection to 0.3% Open Area (OA) - Chamber management
Clean endpoints, safety, chamber matching, and profiling - Sub FAB management
Baseline/POR comparison with 1% variation

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
ASTON LyoSentinel is an advanced mass spectrometer solution for lyophilization, specialty coating, and surface treatments. Sampling is protected by the inlet filtration system, while sensitivity to detect contaminants is preserved. It is durable, accurate, cost-effective, and easy to use.
Application Areas:
- Measures residual water endpoints to optimize cake formation and drying endpoint in the lyophilization process
- Detects trace KT5/silicone oil contamination to minimize yield loss
- Detects in-line vacuum leaks to reduce time to “production-ready” for the next batch.

In Vitro Diagnostics
The ATON System uses optical spectroscopy to identify unique molecular signatures. Advanced lasers excite the molecules in the sample, sensors detect molecular signatures from scattered light and the software reports the concentrations of each target in the test panel. Real-time results inform personalized treatment decisions for better outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced costs.
Application Areas:
- Dialysis Centers
Measure uremic toxins to monitor dialysis adequacy - Clinics
Measure biomarkers of metabolism and wellness
