About

Founded in 2007, Brimrose Technology Corporation is a defense subsystem manufacturer based in Sparks, United States working in cbrn defense, optronics, radar & sensors.

Brimrose Technology Corporation is a privately owned small business incorporated in 2007 as the research and development arm of Brimrose Corporation of America, a Baltimore-based company founded by Dr. Ronald Rosemeier in 1980. The company develops chemical, biological and explosive detection technologies, including standoff LIBS systems, lateral flow and bioluminescence biothreat assays, and infrared and radiation detectors. Much of its work is funded by U.S. government programmes, including the Department of Defense, the U.S. Army (including SBIR awards), NASA, the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Health and Human Services. Brimrose also develops acousto-optic tunable filters, colloidal quantum dot sensors, photo-EMF vibrometers and food and medical diagnostic tests. Its products are commercialised through Brimrose Corporation or spun off into separate companies, such as brimRAD Corporation for radiation detectors. Its New Horizons Diagnostics unit manufactures rapid tests for bacteria and toxins.
