"The Fluorine Realm  is like a Tree of Life-one can only understand it  if he has an open mind and special knowledge.  It is everything  around us and it spurs different forms and shapes of innovation. The world yet to conquer the  Space of  Fluorine Applications  and the White Hourse  of Fluorine  which will yield the fascinating technologies, cures and enjoyment to the humanity...Perhaps, many of you will become Honored Riders of Fluorine bringing the Torch of Light to the humanity.... ",

 

from Professor Clays Sharts' address to his students in the Opening Lecture on Fluorine Chemistry.

 

Fluorotronics, a California corporation located in San Diego, is a development stage technology company founded on December 2000 by Olga Sharts, President/Chairperson. It serves  the purpose of commercializing patented technology called Carbon-Fluorine Spectroscopy known also as Fluoro-Raman Technology. The Technology  comprises of  family of devices under the name PLIRFA (Pulsed Laser Isochronic Raman & Fluorescences Apparatus), methods and applications   pertaining to  the detection of carbon-halogen bonds, especially, carbon-fluorine bonds in fluoroorganic molecules, products, samples, labeled biomolecules, analytes and materials  containing such bonds, including molecular characterization and imaging.

 

Vision:  To become the global leader in providing integrated devices, roducts and services  pertaining to Fluoro-Raman detection, screening, imaging and characterization solutions, life sciences, pharmaceutical, biomedical, diagnostic methods , product development and R&D tools, IT solutions and associated services  for diversified organofluorine markets.
 
The organofluorine markets (called also " fluoroorganic") comprising of the follwoing industries:
-pharmaceutical (product discovery, R&D, clinical trials, and  manufacturing , distribution and security of the product);
-life sciences (reagents, bioprobes, F-labeled molecules, research and discovery tools, kits,imaging media, materials, products, methods of R&D, methods of diagnosis;
-biomedical (imaging, materials, compounds,  assays, reagents,methods, intraoperative devices, human and animal disease determination and management)
-environmental (monitoring, products, materials, methods, compounds, products)
-renewal energy (materials and products, discovery tools)
-nanotechnology (fluorinated nanotubes, other products and materials, coating, photonic crystals, nano-methods and devices);
-optical/semiconductor/electronics (chips,
 

Our mission is to serve  the needs of fluoroorganic markets by supplying  a variety of laboratory and suitcase-sized devices and associated methodologies. Fluorotronics systems can rapidly enhance analytical practices, loosen technical bottlenecks, speed up clinical trials and drug discovery, will offer novel medical and diagnostic solutions, provide effective anticounterfeit drug  technology, anti-

terrorism measures, and eventually improve significantly healthcare for a large segment of population. The deployment of Fluorotronics technologies by various industries will result in significant reduction of various costs associated with discovery, exponential growth of  innovation, will increase competitiveness, will maintain and improve quality of the existing products and will allow to keeping our environment and consumer products safer.

The method  was originally envisioned by Prof. Clay Sharts (Ph.D. California Institute of Technology, U.S. Navy Captain,  Professor of Chemistry at San Diego State University (d. 1999 during surgery) . Prof. Clay Sharts was  a renown fluoroorganic synthetic chemist  who was well known among chemists worldwide for his works , books and  contribution into fluoroorganic sciences. Together with  his  wife  and collaborator Olga  Sharts, a Raman expert and intl. technologist  and Dr. Vladimir Gorelik  (Raman guru and physicist)  of Lebedev Physics Inst. in Moscow they discovered Fluoro-Raman effect, which  was further developed  for certain life sciences aspects by Dr. Georg Wischnath (Germany), Prof. Dale Shellhamer (San Diego, CA), Prof. Robert Metzger (San Diego, CA), Prof. Leo Avakyants, Dr. Farid Menaa and others.
