Serstech was selected the winner with "Best pitch and business idea" by a very senior investment jury last Monday night. The company competed with more than 40 of the hottest start-ups in Sweden, so we are really proud! The competition was arranged by the Swedish Agency for Business Innovation (ALMI). A link to the event will follow.
Serstech is hiring
Dec102012Serstech is growing and we are presently hiring two more developers:
- Optics Developer; Raman Spectroscopy
- Software Developer; Embedded Systems
If you are interested, you find the details and how to apply here.
Financing of production
Nov262012Serstech has initiated industrialization to enter into production of its handheld Raman spectrometer. Its small size and affordable price allows customers in security and industrial quality control a fast and easy way to identify chemicals on the spot. The progress has been enabled by a new issue of shares, which was over-subscribed. For more information, please contact Peter Höjerback.
Raman for advanced product development and prototyping
Jul52012Last week, an entrepreneur and researcher from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) visited Serstech to buy our latest miniaturized Raman spectrometer and probe. It will be used for an instrument that measures PCB, and as such it is an example of the growing number of customers who are integrating Serstech’s technologies into their own products.

Hand-held instrument for on-spot identification
May212012Serstech is proud to announce a very small and affordable hand-held Raman spectrometer. It is targeted at industrial users who need to verify materials and for security personnel such as police and customs officers who need to identify unknown powders, pills and fluids. The instrument is presently available as a prototype for pilot projects and a full version will be available after customer feedback. More information is available on request.
Extended product line - 532 and 785 nm Raman
Dec122011Customers can now buy Serstech’s miniature Raman spectrometer and probe also for measurements at 532 nm. The components are very small and affordable making them ideal for research purposes and OEM integration. For datasheets and quotations, please contact ph@serstech.com.
New Product: Miniature Raman Spectrometer
Nov82011Chemical identification used to mean large and expensive components, but not anymore. Now Serstech is making its miniature Raman spectrometer and probe available. Customers can explore this technology for research or for OEM integration into larger systems. Please contact ph@serstech.com for more information.
Detecting bomb factories
May62011Finding bomb factories before something explodes can save lots of lives. By mixing Serstech’s small and cost effective sensors into networks with other technologies, this can be a reality with today's funding of an EU project called BONAS. The project gathers fourteen leading expert teams and has a budget of approx €5 million.
Serstech reports steady growth
Apr142011Serstech AB reports a doubling of its revenues compared to the previous fiscal year. The company keeps investing strongly in further market and product development and hence reports a small loss for the period. For a copy of the annual report, please contact Peter Höjerback.
New office - new address
Jan312011Serstech has moved to a new and very fresh office area in the Ideon Science Park. It was only a short move, but please come and visit! You find our new address here.
What is Serstech?
Serstech has developed technologies that can help customers such as police, rescue, customs and defense officers quickly and easily identify powders, pills and fluids. They can also improve logistics and quality in industrial processes. The technology builds on a proprietary and patent pending micro-spectrometer that splits light into different wavelengths. Drugs, explosive and hazardous materials are among the substances that can be identified, and the very same technology can also be employed for clean-tech applications and detection of biomarkers. Present spectrometers are usually quite large and mostly used in labs, however Serstech’s micro-spectrometer removes many previous limitations by offering a small, energy-efficient and cost effective solution. For the most sensitive applications, Serstech is also offering cutting-edge SERS surfaces.
