RedWave Technology

Redwave Technology develops, markets and supports products for field and mobile lab deployment in homeland defense applications, as well as high value sampling technology for FTIR spectrometers in laboratories. All products from RedWave Technologies are built with the same design principles – deliver exceptional performance, ergonomics, usability at an attractive price point. RedWave Technology’s ThreatID system, is a fieldable analyzer for threat assessment and identification of a wide range of potentially hazardous industrial chemicals and chemical agents. Using Fourier transform infrared technology specifically designed for this mission, ThreatID provides immediate, accurate identification of unknown solid and liquid substances. It is built for the requirements of those who put their lives on the line to ensure public safety. Our SurveyIR IR Microscope is an economical, high performance, high usability microsampling accessory. It mounts inside the sample compartment of spectrometers and enables even affordable DTGS equipped FTIR systems to execute quality microscopy on samples as small as 50 µm. This expands the use of infrared microscopy to users who previously had no option to perform microspectroscopy. RedWave Technology MicromATR and MicromATR Vision devices are in-compartment ATR sampling technologies that offer a wide variety of sensor options, enabling the analysis of a broad range of samples, from macro to micro. The MicromATR Vision accessory adds integrated viewing optics with illumination of the sample through a diamond ATR crystal and enables selection of discreet sample features. eSpot™ software provides tools for viewing real-time images, image capture, image storage, and image documentation. RedWave Technology scientists, engineers and management team have many decades of experience building FTIR products and companies that serve the academic research, industrial scientific and homeland defense markets.
