Polychromix is a leader in miniature and portable analysis tools. The company's innovative products enable the migration of traditional laboratory-based instrumentation from the lab to the point of need for fast, accurate, non-destructive material analysis. The revolutionary PHAZIRTM product line is broadly used in a variety of industrial applications. They enable the expert as well as the non-technical user to perform accurate material analysis with minimal training. Polychromix, a privately-held company headquartered in Wilmington, MA, develops and provides modular optical sub-systems based on its MEMS core technology, which was initially developed via U.S. DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) funding. The DARPA project, which was led by researchers from MIT, Sandia National Laboratories, and Honeywell, was geared toward creating a new MEMS structure for building a spectroscopic device for remotely detecting the presence of chemical warfare agents in the field. Founded in 2001, Polychromix is focused on developing an advanced suite of cost-efficient material analysis, chemical sensing, and spectroscopy solutions. Such products leverage the company's MEMS technology and method of measuring and modulating light to address the increasing market demand for more convenient and cost-effective chemical sensing solutions. Polychromix's spectrometer products offer performance and cost advantages by replacing IR spectrometers that use expensive interferometers or detector arrays with an NIR spectrometer that uses a single detector and the company's MEMS chip. Polychromix's vision is to develop a unique, new breed of miniaturized material analyzers and spectroscopic solutions that allow for bringing the analyzer to the subject in the field as opposed to bringing a sample to an analytical device in the lab. This approach can enable markets and applications that were previously impractical or highly elusive. The portability of Polychromix's solutions is particularly beneficial when the analyzed subject is large, perishable, or geographically dispersed.
