     Title: DeltaNu Founder Receives Entrepreneurship Award

Laramie, Wyoming USA  - DeltaNu founder, Dr. Keith Carron, was awarded with the 2007 Bravo Entrepreneur Award for the Southeast Wyoming region. The Bravo Entrepreneur Award recognizes those that demonstrate the best traits of entrepreneurship, including vision, drive, perseverance, and willingness to take risks.

Dr. Carron was recognized for his role in the growth of DeltaNu in Laramie, Wyoming. DeltaNu manufactures turnkey, low-cost, high performance Raman Spectrometers for academia and industry. Raman spectrometers are used to identify materials by irradiating the material to be identified with a laser and measuring the characteristic bands of light inelastically scattered from the material. This process is rapid and nondestructive.

The DeltaNu product line started with a single bench-top spectrometer and has grown to include several bench-top systems, portable and hand-held models, and Raman microscopes. DeltaNu was recently acquired by Intevac, an equipment manufacturing firm in Santa Clara. Intevac is keeping DeltaNu in Laramie, WY.

The 2007 Bravo Entrepreneur Awards are sponsored by the Wyoming Business Report, the Wyoming Business Council, the Wyoming Chamber of Commerce Executives, the Wyoming Business Alliance, the Heritage Foundation and the Wyoming Economic Development Association.
