Ion Metrics Inc. (IMI), incorporated in
2004, is
in the business of commercializing low cost mass sensor systems
and networks for the detection and analysis of such chemical compounds
such as explosives, chemical and biological agents, narcotics, hazardous
materials, and industrial chemicals for homeland security, forensics,
environmental, and industrial process markets. The company's patented
mass spectrometer technology was originally developed for residual
gas analysis in the semiconductor and vacuum coating technologies.
IMI has adapted the mass spectrometer technology and other cutting
edge front-end sampling and separation interface technologies to
meet field deployable, high-throughput screening and surveillance
analysis requirements in rapidly growing niches such as drug discovery,
security, and safety markets.
The company’s innovative approach revolves around miniaturized device and system designs in combination with low cost manufacture. IMI’s goal is to provide products that meet the specificity, the sensitivity, and the throughput of real-world applications. Ion Metrics Inc. product development strategy is based on introducing a new breed of mass sensor systems and networks that will transform the security, safety, and drug discovery markets. Offered at unprecedented low prices (less than $10,000 per unit), IMI's business logic lies in producing these systems in large volumes, typically 100 to 1000 per application. By providing high analytical performance at low prices IMI products will move mass spectrometry based technology into the mainstream.
