"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
current primary focus is on delivering analytical /
scientific research instruments and methodology for
the pharmaceutical R&D, life sciences and biomedical
segment and manufacturing process analysis (PAT, e.g.
Process Analytical Technology). Many research groups from
pharmaceutical , chemical and life sciences companies and major
universities have expressed interest in
collaborations and involved in the projects of
mutual interest.
Our
Carbon-Fluorine Spectroscopy platform (Fluoro-Raman Technology)
offers innovative approaches to many industries to discover high
value advanced materials, products and assure state-of-the art
research and
development.
Our
ultimate goal is to apply our technologies and
tools to discover innovative applications, materials and
products for high-value research, commercial and
various industrial applications in a broad range of industries
pertaining to fluoroorganic industries, products and materials,
and various applications involving carbon-fluorine
bonds.
Company
is seeking broad-based strategic alliances
under which we will perform research, developing and
transferring of Fluorotronic's Fluoro-Raman Tools, and license
our intellectual property (processes, devices,
software and methods) to qualified partners and
collaborators.
Fluorotronics
provides cost-effective solutions to fluorine-related
industries, assists them in discovering innovative
materials and products, develops valuable applications to
expand their R&D and improve processes' productivity
by achieving better results with shorter time lines and lower
costs. We realize value through collaborative research and
strategic partnerships, the sale and/or leasing of
Fluorotronics Fluoro-Raman tools and providing solutions,
products, applications developed in-house, via
licensing of intellectual property and proprietary
technology.

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.
