Analyze IQ Limited develops and sells an innovative, patent-protected software suite for analysis of the composition of mixtures, based on molecular spectroscopy data. Analyze IQ uses a new model-driven paradigm for spectral data analysis, with proprietary new machine learning techniques that have been specifically designed for spectral analysis, that is both quicker and more accurate than traditional analysis, and can be used by non-chemometricians in the field. The products have applications in fields as diverse as manufacturing inspection, law enforcement, emergency services, and the pharmaceutical industry.

The Analyze IQ software suite forms a platform for the company’s other services, including producing bespoke models for specific applications, and developing customized software solutions for vertical markets.

Analyze IQ Limited was established in 2008 as a spin-out company from the National University of Ireland, Galway. The founders of the company include Dr Michael Madden, who led the development of the technology within the university, while a lecturer in the College of Engineering and Informatics. The technology is the result of a five-year research collaboration between analytical chemists with expertise in spectroscopic techniques and software engineers with expertise in data mining and machine learning, that received substantial support from Irish Government research funding agencies. Analyze IQ Limited has licensed exclusive world-wide rights to the technology and patents with options to acquire them, and has developed additional intellectual property. The company retains strong links with the university for R&D and technology transfer.
