About IDIR Solutions
A multidisciplinary team turning spectroscopy into industrial intelligence.
Who We Are
IDIR Solutions was founded with a vision to use our expertise in analytics and spectroscopy to turn complex technologies into simple, elegant solutions.
We bring together world-class expertise in spectroscopy, process engineering, chemometrics, and software development — with our founding team holding PhDs from Imperial College London and King’s College London.
Our Mission
To provide analytical certainty through spectroscopy, chemometrics and PAT — turning the complexity of advanced analytical science into fast, defensible, field-ready industrial decisions.
We are not a hardware vendor. We are a spectroscopy intelligence company. Our moat is built on hardware neutrality, ISO 17025-backed validation, no-code chemometrics, and deep process integration.
