Breakthrough instruments transform molecular structure analysis

BrightSpec, the leader in molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectroscopy, is launching its BrightSpec-MRR product suite at PittCon 2025. The instruments are designed to revolutionize the way analytical chemists identify and quantify complex molecular structures.  The launch represents a major milestone for the MRR technique; this breakthrough product line is the world's first commercial MRR platform since the 1970s.

“Molecular Rotational Resonance (MRR) technology has revolutionized chemical analysis by making high-precision spectroscopy more accessible and user-friendly across diverse fields. Its ability to provide unmatched molecular specificity without complex sample preparation sets it apart from traditional techniques. These innovations make MRR a transformative tool, empowering scientists, educators, and industry professionals with unprecedented analytical power and ease of use," said Dr. Jared Auclair, Northeastern University.

 A Leap Forward in Molecular Spectroscopy  BrightSpec’s portolio, includes three groundbreaking instruments: the nanoMRR^TM, isoMRR^TM, and spectraMRR^TM.   

• nanoMRR: Compact and benchtop, the nanoMRR brings MRR to education, research and industrial chemical analysis.
• isoMRR: The isoMRR offers a comprehensive solution for quantifying volatile organic compounds, including chiral molecules.
• spectraMRR: The spectraMRR is a cutting-edge analytical platform that harnesses the power of rotational spectroscopy to offer a novel method for the identification of chemical structures, complementing traditional spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry.

“The BrightSpec MRR product suite democratizes a powerful analytical technique, enabling precise structural analysis using commercial instruments powered by easy-to-use software,” said Walter Colsman, CEO of BrightSpec.

“We’re excited to showcase the spectraMRR and the BrightSpec-MRR product suite to the scientific community at PittCon,” said Justin Neill, BrightSpec’s CTO. “We’ve made great strides in the accessibility of the technique and these instruments are designed to move rotational spectroscopy beyond the academic realm and into the modern, digital paradigm of analytical chemistry.”

Attendees of PittCon will have the opportunity to see the instruments in action at the BrightSpec booth and learn more during two featured talks and two poster sessions presented by BrightSpec team members and users.
