Welcome to
Block Engineering
Block Engineering has pioneered the evolving field of Mobile Instrumentation for Identification and Analysis of gases, liquids and solids. Using our decades-long experience, we have developed legendary Standoff Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers that can detect chemical clouds as far as three miles away. These field rugged instruments can be handheld or mounted in ground or air vehicles. We are now taking this unparalleled know-how one step further by developing Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) based, high resolution, pen-size FTIR and IR laser spectrometers that cost an order of magnitude less than similar laboratory instruments.
Our technologies and products provide critical solutions in:
Protection
Early Warnings against Chemical Terrorism, Life Safety, Raw Material and Food Supply Security
Energy/Environment
Savings through On-line Process Monitoring, Reduced Emissions, Fewer Production Interruptions
Research
Rapid Drug Discovery and Chemical Synthesis, Shorter Time-To-Market, Efficient R&D Cycles
