PittCon 2025 marked a major milestone for BrightSpec as we officially launched the world’s first commercial Molecular Rotational Resonance (MRR) instruments in 50 years. The response from the scientific community was overwhelming, and we’re thrilled to share the highlights from this incredible event. You can also read the press release shared below for more details.
Recognition & Awards
We were honored to receive a PittCon Today Excellence Award, recognizing our innovation and the impact of our new spectraMRR platform. This award reinforces our mission to transform molecular analysis with unmatched precision, speed, and ease of use.
The Pittcon Today Excellence Awards are the premier business awards recognizing ingenuity and innovation at the world's leading conference and exposition for laboratory science.
To qualify for the award, the product had to be launched after January 2024 and must be a true innovation, not just an incremental improvement.
Entries were judged by a blue-chip panel of experts from academia and leading industry publications. Judges based their decisions on ingenuity, creativity, implementation, and outcomes.
The principal criterion is the projected impact the product will have on the industry and the world.
Live Demos & Talks: Bringing MRR to Life
Our team delivered two expert talks at PittCon, diving deep into how MRR is reshaping chemical analysis. You can download the presentation slides from our talk titled, "Analysis of Volatile Impurities in Complex Samples by Headspace Molecular Rotational Resonance Spectroscopy" from BrightSpec Application Scientist Aleksandr Mikhonin, here.
Our booth featured live demonstrations of spectraMRR, allowing attendees to see firsthand how MRR delivers direct, highly specific molecular identification without the need for extensive sample prep. If you missed it, we’re keeping the momentum going with live demos at our Waltham headquarters—reach out to book your session!
Spotlight Interview: Rizwan Chaudhrey Talks to BrightSpec
