Testimonial of it4ip
December 2025 – M. Etienne Ferain, Chief Executive Officer of it4ip, shares his experience regarding his collaboration with the Cyclotron Resource Center.
He regularly relies on the heavy ion beam produced by the CRC to perform custom irradiation of track-etched polymer films, thereby meeting the highly specific requirements of his clients in the fields of biotechnology, medical applications, and nano- and microelectronics.
