Molecular insight. Industrial potential.
We’re building a platform to reveal molecular changes inside industrial processes. Our first application: diacetyl monitoring in fermentation.
Research-led
Built on more than 15 years of research in infrared upconversion spectroscopy.
Built for industry
Designed for inline use in real production environments.
Starting with fermentation
Diacetyl monitoring first — a high-value use case with broader potential.
Technology
From a molecular fingerprint to meaningful insight.
- 01
Molecular absorption
Mid-infrared light passes through the sample. Target molecules absorb at unique wavelengths, creating a distinctive fingerprint.
- 02
Optical upconversion
A nonlinear crystal shifts the mid-infrared signal to near-infrared, where standard detectors can read it.
- 03
Data interpretation
A spectrometer captures the signal and chemometrics converts the spectrum into a concentration reading.
Progress
Building the evidence.
Demonstrated · ongoing
Technical development
Initial spectral evidence of diacetyl in water in the lab. Proof-of-concept validation and route selection are under way in 2026.
Ongoing
Industry dialogue
In dialogue with brewers and equipment suppliers to validate needs and application pathways.
We are developing and validating our approach for industrial use.
