IR Microsystems established a distinct innovation to produce a detector range for infrared light that might be utilized - as soon as incorporated in a spectrometer - in a number of commercial sectors; most especially for composition analysis of liquids and gases. The resistance to brand-new innovation was high; the market extremely conservative; and market financial investments in brand-new innovation after the year 2000 were down.
The USP of IRM's innovation was its capability to determine a complete infrared spectrum at a low expense. Knowing goal: Market entry in high innovation fields; handling the early stages of development.
