Company Overview

We envision a future where chemical analysis and discovery is driven by intelligent autonomous chemistry systems– anytime, anywhere.

Our team is paving the way to this future by fusing innovative hardware with machine learning algorithms guided by expert knowledge of molecular spectroscopy. Our products are elegantly designed with a human touch to help you navigate complexity. Pendar’s platforms help identify and detect materials, determine optimal chemical reaction pathways, and perceive the health of a human organ. By providing clear actionable results and interpretations, our solutions enable users to focus on their primary objectives: discovering and scaling-up new chemistries, responding to emergencies, and saving lives.

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. Pendar’s solutions leverage our core capabilities into uniquely insightful products for the pharmaceutical, safety & security, and medical markets.
