Company mission

To develop cutting-edge spectroscopy technology that provides solutions to a wide range of industries.

Our take

Muddy waters, both literal and metaphorical, plague industries like winemaking and life science. Analyzing the chemicals in complex liquids like grape juice or pharmaceutical solutions is often tricky, requiring large samples, expensive equipment, and slow turnarounds. This hinders decision-making and progress.

Enter Marama Labs, a startup with a novel approach - the CloudSpec. This device uses spectroscopy to rapidly and accurately analyze the chemical makeup of complex liquids. Winemakers can understand their grapes and tailor their processes for better results. For scientists, CloudSpec accelerates drug discovery and quality control with real-time data.

Marama Labs' innovative tech has caught the eye of investors, securing substantial funding that will supercharge its CloudSpec production, enhance its cloud-based data analysis tools, and propel the company into the life science market. 2024 promises to be a pivotal year for Marama Labs, as it expands its wine industry footprint and brings the power of clear liquid analysis to the world of complex biological solutions.
