Raman Systems Inc, a subsidiary of Agiltron Inc (also an SBIR firm) and spun out of Boston University's Photonics Research Center pioneered the development and commercialization of portable Raman spectrometers. Raman Systems is now engineering and launching new generations of portable and handheld chemical analyzers offering accurate organic chemical identification, verification, and screening. Initial applications for the technology included the design and development of chemical sensors for detecting low concentration contaminants in water affording portability and field deployment. Raman Systems has diversified and is now developing compact Raman spectrometers for chemical analysis. RSI designs and supplies three flagship products, the R-2001, the RSL-1 and the RPC-1 along with their own lasers, sampling accessories and software, providing a fully integrated compact chemical analysis system
