µChemLab™ is the embodiment of a four year, $22 million investment by Sandia National Laboratories. In short, the program developed technology and a prototype of a hand-held version of a fully functional chemical analysis laboratory, complete with sampling interface, pre-concentrators, gas and liquid chromatographic separations, detection, analysis and communication. Perspectives was brought in early in the project to do a Technology Assessment focused on differentiators and customer demand. Perspectives has continued to work on the project in order to track other organizations' R&D in micro chemistry and to identify potential partners to further support and focus this development effort.

The mission of the Biodefense Knowledge Center is to enable collaboration and data sharing among policy makers, responders, analysts, law enforcement personnel, and scientists in the Homeland Security community to assure that timely and authoritative biodefense information is available to those with a need to know. Perspectives provides a variety of support services to the BKC.

The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) is a Department of Energy/Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center (NSRC) operating as a national user facility devoted to establishing the scientific principles that govern the design, performance, and integration of nanoscale materials. Perspectives provides strategic planning, website content and funding opportunities database support to CINT.

Perspectives performed strategic assessment of AccSys Technology, Inc., a Hitachi affiliate, and the firm’s position in the field of commercial proton linear accelerators. We profiled AccSys and its core technologies; and identified and characterized close competitors and others with substantial technology overlap. Hitachi used the results of this study to evaluate technology risks and develop contingency plans for key AccSys products of high concern.
