Where chemical analysis was formerly a lengthy process that required bringing samples to the lab, Griffin has shifted the logistics paradigm from “sample-to-lab analysis” to “lab-to-sample analysis” with its unique fieldable mass spectrometers. Founded in 2001, Griffin Analytical Technologies, a business unit within the Detection Division of ICx Technologies, Inc., is emerging as a leader in field analytical instrumentation by offering the first complete family of Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometers (GC/MS) and that are also capable of multi-dimensional analysis (MS/MS). Successful completion of multiple government contracts and a strong relationship with Purdue University’s world renowned analytical chemistry department have generated several technological breakthroughs and a complete family of chemical analysis products. Griffin Analytical continues to develop its own technology and to release new commercial products to better serve existing and emerging markets.
