BrightSpec offers the spectraMRR™ platform, which uses Molecular Rotational Resonance (MRR) spectroscopy to directly identify and quantify small‑molecule structures from liquids, gases, or headspace without chromatography, derivatization, or extensive sample preparation. The system combines ultra‑high‑resolution rotational fingerprinting with quantum‑simulation software and SpectrAline™ sample‑introduction cartridges to deliver rapid, automated, and highly accurate analysis for pharmaceutical, chemical, food safety, and consumer‑goods applications.

Problem
Traditional analytical methods for small‑molecule identification and quantitation rely on chromatography, derivatization, and extensive sample preparation, which are time‑consuming, costly, and often unable to resolve isomers in complex mixtures.
Solution
BrightSpec’s spectraMRR™ platform uses Molecular Rotational Resonance (MRR) spectroscopy to obtain a molecule’s unique rotational fingerprint directly from liquids, gases, or headspace samples. By measuring rotational spectra with ultra‑high resolution, the system provides definitive structural identification and quantitative analysis in minutes without chromatography or reference standards. The platform integrates quantum‑simulation software to predict and match spectra, delivering automated data analysis and real‑time results. SpectrAline™ cartridges, co‑developed with Restek, optimize sample introduction, enhancing sensitivity and matrix compatibility for trace‑level analysis in pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, excipients, and food safety testing. This combination streamlines workflows, reduces labor and consumable costs, and improves confidence in impurity and isomer detection.
Target Audience
Primary customers are analytical chemists and scientists in pharmaceutical, chemical, food safety, and consumer‑goods companies who require fast, accurate structural identification and impurity quantitation of small molecules.
