Academic research
A shared instrument that needs a specialist to operate is used by the specialist. Everyone else books time, waits, and works around it. Both of our instrument families were designed so the person with the research question can take the measurement.
The problem
Two versions of the same bottleneck. In chemistry, kinetics and mechanism work needs concentration against time, and quenched samples measured offline give you a handful of points per experiment — enough to fit a curve, not enough to see an intermediate.
In ultrafast physics, the delay stage sets the ceiling. Reaching a nanosecond of delay needs roughly 150 mm of stage travel in double pass; ten nanoseconds is impractical. Scans take seconds to minutes, which caps how much you can average, and beam pointing drifts across a long scan in a way that looks exactly like real dynamics.

Learn moreWhat makes it usable by a group
- Tool-less setup: the flow cell connects hand-tight and is running within minutes.
- One USB-C cable for power and data, and no cooling — it travels between benches and between buildings.
- Data out as SPC and CSV, so it lands in whatever analysis pipeline the group already uses.
- Basic reference spectra for common solvents — ethanol, acetone, IPA, methanol, acetonitrile, toluene — and up to three reference spectra displayed alongside a live measurement.
- On the photonics side, a shared-cavity architecture gives passive mutual coherence with no locking loop for a student to retune every morning.
There is no full spectral library. Where you need quantification rather than identification, we build the chemometric model as a service.

Describe the stream, the chemistry and the decision it blocks. Where it makes sense we test the technology on your own process samples before you commit.
