Overview

Pendar Technologies develops handheld Raman devices, such as the Pendar X10 and Robot Integration Kit, for real-time, on-site chemical analysis and remote identification. The systems use wavelength-tunable Quantum Cascade Laser arrays to excite samples and capture Raman signals, enabling fast chemical detection with possible standoff and robotic integration. They work with researchers, clinicians, and government customers (including the U.S. Army and DHS) and earn revenue from direct device and kit sales as well as grants and pilot programs. The aim is to be a leading provider of practical, portable chemical analysis tools that deliver fast, actionable results in field, clinical, and national-security environments.
