Detect harmful chemicals and biological pathogens anywhere in under five seconds at the cost of 1 cent per test

Today, aviation jet fuel inspection, quality and specification testing are provided through global networks of certified and accredited laboratories. Jet fuel contaminated by hydraulic, Polyalphaolefin (PAO) fluid, or microbes could potentially result in a catastrophic failure of high-performance jet aircraft.

Blaise™ is an artificially intelligent instrument capable of detection and quantification of chemical contaminates in jet fuel in the field versus a laboratory. The device will disrupt a global network of test centralized labs enabling jet fuel quality assurance to be performed in minutes and at one (1) cent per sample versus $300 - $2,300 per sample.

The payoff of an affordable, intelligent, and networked micro-Raman system is profound. Beyond fuel quality testing, Blaise use cases include:

  • Security - identifying/analyzing trace explosives, narcotics, chemical warfare agents, and other toxic chemicals

  • Consumer – low-cost capability to scan common goods for dangerous pathogens, pesticides and other chemicals

  • Water – testing water quality can be expensive requiring lab-based testing supply chains that include refrigeration

  • Life Sciences - single cells drug interactions, disease diagnosis

  • Pharmaceutics - uniformity and component distribution.
