Empowering discovery through precision and collaboration

CN Rood supports universities, research institutes, and technical schools across Benelux, the Nordics, and the Baltics with reliable test, measurement, and data acquisition tools. We help researchers and educators translate innovative ideas into validated results through high-quality instrumentation, automation, and expert support.

Market & trends

Academic and research environments are evolving rapidly, driven by interdisciplinary innovation and advanced technologies. Research labs and educational institutions must balance performance, flexibility, and cost while supporting both discovery and learning.

Key challenges include:

  • Interdisciplinary research complexity
    Increasing overlap between electronics, photonics, AI, energy, and life sciences requires versatile test platforms.
  • High-speed measurement demands
    Emerging research relies on GHz, RF, and optical data acquisition with high accuracy and synchronization.
  • Energy and sustainability research
    Testing renewable systems, power conversion, and battery materials demands precise and scalable instrumentation.
  • Digital learning and remote labs
    Teaching environments require compact, easy-to-deploy tools that support hands-on and hybrid education.
  • Budget efficiency and scalability
    Labs prefer modular solutions that grow with research needs while staying within limited budgets.
