Charlottesville, VA and Tokyo, Japan –BrightSpec, the MRR spectroscopy company, announced the appointment of Cornes Technologies of Japan as exclusive distributor for Japan.

BrightSpec is the first company to bring to market a line of spectrometers for trace level chemical analysis using Fourier transform molecular rotational resonance (FT-MRR) spectroscopy. The result is fast, direct quantitation of components in chemical mixtures, without the need for chromatography or difficult chemometrics. FT-MRR enables continuous monitoring of chemical processes, including  chiral and structural analyses, as well as small volatile compounds that can be difficult to measure in a mixture.

The appointment of Cornes as exclusive distributor follows the training of Cornes personnel in the setup and installation of BrightSpec instruments.  The relationship builds on the very strong community of microwave and millimeter wave rotational spectroscopy researchers in Japan.
