New technologies for molecular analysis have been developed by Isospec Analytics, which has raised $1.9M in funding to further its efforts. Founderful (formerly Wingman Ventures) led the pre-seed round, with additional investment from Tiny.vc, another.vc, and Venture Kick.
The process of identifying unknown molecules is critical in developing new drugs, nutritional products, or pesticides, but current methods often fail to provide enough information due to their limitations. This can lead to regulatory setbacks or potential health risks for consumers. However, Isospec’s technology overcomes these obstacles by generating unique and information-rich metrics that allow for rapid identification of unknown molecules in minutes rather than months.
This breakthrough technology originated from the Laboratory of Molecular Physical Chemistry (LCPM) at EPFL and is already being utilized in the food and agritech industry for quality control and product R&D. By providing rapid and accurate identification of unknown molecules, Isospec’s technology brings scalability and efficiency to molecular analysis processes.
