About Astrotech
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Astrotech is based in Austin, Texas and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker ASTC. The SEC classifies its business as laboratory analytical instruments. In the fiscal year to 30 June 2025, it reported revenue of $1.0m.
We are commercializing the Astrotech Mass Spectrometer Technology™ platform (“AMS Technology”) through application specific, wholly owned subsidiaries.
Our mission encompasses the advancement of both mass spectrometry and gas chromatography, two powerful analytical techniques that together enable precise detection and identification of chemical compounds across a wide range of high-demand environments. We aim to expand access to mass spectrometry and its use through the deployment of devices designed specifically for the appropriate levels of precision required in high-volume, real-time testing environments such as airports, border checkpoints, cargo hubs, infrastructure security, correctional facilities, military bases, law enforcement centers, and industrial locations. We are introducing our new line of products that are ultra-portable, on-site, rugged environmental testing instruments, featuring our proprietary ATi Gas Chromatography Column (“GC”) and ATi Mass Spectrometer Technology (“MS”) to achieve our mission through simplifying the user interface, automating the complicated calibration process, ruggedizing the critical components to endure MS/GC field work, and enabling multiple configurations for sample intake options.
