I just found the company that I was thinking of, they still exist but only in b2b, but only in a very specific niche. They have scaled way back from their original ambition. They seem to have had consumer tech already,[0] and rolled it back for reasons which I do not understand.

A consumer product no longer exists, even though one was originally delivered. This could be an issue of going up-market first, scaling issues, or if I believed in conspiracies like "killer acquisitions,"[2] then I might imagine that this technology would be inconvenient for many industries if end consumers had the spectrographic data in hand. This inconvenience might be a bunch of people complaining about compounds which were not dangerous, or it might democratize the testing that the FDA should be doing, and show dangerous contamination in many consumer products, especially in the food category.
