Ahura Scientific plans to be on the front line of homeland defense. The company makes FirstDefender, a handheld instrument that can identify thousands of chemicals using lasers and a specific optical analysis known as Raman spectroscopy. Potential consumers of FirstDefender include firefighters, police bomb squads, and first responders who encounter unknown substances. The company's TruScan instrument has similar applications, such as doctors checking the content of medications and manufacturers overseeing the production of goods. In addition to handheld instruments, Ahura also makes lasers, optical components, and optical subsystems used in medical diagnostics. The company was founded in 2002.
