Prospect Scientific Inc. was founded in 1996 by Dr. Kelly Akers to bring the best new Raman spectroscopy solutions to Canadian laboratories. ProSpect Scientific has become the dominant provider of research quality Raman spectroscopy solutions to universities, industries and government in Canada, with over 30 systems in place.

Raman spectroscopy uses the measurement of scattered light to provide chemical identification.

Raman scattering was first observed by Sir C.V. Raman in 1928, who was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1930 for his discovery. Development of the effect into a spectroscopic process was forwarded by George Placzek in the early 1930's.

Today, advances in computerized control and analysis, electronics, optics and manufacturing have brought Raman spectroscopy into the mainstream of analytical techniques, employed in most advanced university research labs, forensics, and precise industrial process control and assessment.
