Chiral Imaging
Our groundbreaking chiral imaging technology combines cutting-edge ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with high-resolution mass spectrometry imaging to achieve what was previously impossible: the spatial separation and direct visualization of mirror-image molecular structures within complex samples.
The Critical Importance of Chiral Analysis
Chiral molecules, identical compounds existing in left-handed and right-handed forms, play essential roles across multiple industries:
- Pharmaceutical Development: With approximately 50% of marketed medications containing chiral compounds, differentiating between enantiomers is crucial as mirror forms can produce dramatically different therapeutic effects or potential toxicities
- Food & Beverage Production: Chiral molecules directly impact product quality through their influence on nutritional content, flavor profiles, aroma characteristics, and textural properties
- Advanced Materials Engineering: Specific chiral configurations significantly determine key physical properties including tensile strength, flexibility, durability, and thermal resistance
The Competitive Advantage of Chiral Visibility
By revealing the previously invisible world of molecular handedness, our chiral imaging technology provides manufacturers with unprecedented insights into product performance, safety profiles, and optimization opportunities. This molecular-level intelligence enables more precise formulation development, quality control processes, and regulatory compliance.
