Activated Research Company

Activated Research Company, the makers of the Polyarc system, aim to make the world a better place using their expertise in catalysis.

Activated Research Company (ARC), founded by Brad Cleveland and Andrew Jones, has a mission to make the world a better place using its expertise in catalysis. Catalysts act as molecular highways that speed and direct chemical reactions to occur advantageously. The company’s first product, the Polyarc system, is a breakthrough innovation that combines catalysis with chemical analysis to revolutionize 60 year old technology. It’s easy to use and seamlessly integrates into new or existing gas chromatographs (GCs) with flame ionization detectors (FIDs). The Polyarc system has received international acclaim, receiving the “2015 Best New Product” award at the Gulf Coast Conference and being named one of the top innovations in 2015 by The Analytical Scientist Innovation Awards. This is the first of what will be many innovative products to be released as they work to fulfill their mission.
