Pendar is a privately-held company with a mission to save lives by transforming chemical analysis for use anywhere, by anyone. We combine our core competence in hardware innovation, smart advanced algorithms, and expert knowledge of molecular spectroscopy to do what was not possible before. Our team previously brought handheld spectroscopy to the field, founded two successful venture-backed companies, and pioneered Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs). We are a vertically integrated company of scientists, engineers, and innovators building our own software, spectroscopy platforms, and laser systems from the ground-up. Our solutions enable users to focus on their primary objectives: discovering chemistries, improving quality, responding to emergencies, and saving lives.
