Solutions
Four product lines, one measurement philosophy
Instruments small enough to sit inside the process, robust enough to stay there, and simple enough that a non-specialist can run them.

OrionIR®
Mid-IR Spectrometer
Palm-sized transmission flow cell. One spectrum every second across 900–3500 cm⁻¹, through aqueous, strongly absorbing and low-concentration streams.

RTD
Residence Time Distribution Module
Live tracer monitoring from a USB device, with the RTD plot generated automatically at the end of each measurement.

How to tell which one you need
The dividing line is what you are trying to see. If the question is what is in the liquid and how much, that is the OrionIR® — a transmission flow cell reading 900–3500 cm⁻¹ every second on a recirculation loop. If the question is how long material spends inside the vessel, that is the RTD module, which runs the tracer experiment as a one-click measurement and plots the distribution automatically. If the question is what happens in the first nanosecond after excitation, that is K2 Photonics, where a shared-cavity dual-comb architecture sweeps the delay without a mechanical stage.
Most sites that buy one end up buying a second, because the first answers a question that raises the next.

What every instrument here has in common
- Built to be operated by the person with the question, not by a spectroscopist.
- No interferometer and no fragile optical fibres, so there is nothing to realign after transport or after six months on a plant floor.
- Data out in open formats — SPC and CSV — and control over OPC UA, so the reading becomes a process input rather than a report.
- A built-in self-test that reports both instrument health and whether the cell is clean.
- Measurements stored as immutable historical records.
- A chemometric model built for your chemistry, because a spectrum you still have to interpret is not a measurement.
