KROUNGOLD ANALYTICAL

CEO: Nancy Schure

Kroungold Analytical had its origins in the year 2000 when Nancy Kroungold Schure pursued some business ideas and decided that the world needed inexpensive 2D liquid chromatography software that could be added on to any liquid chromatography system. Her husband, Mark Schure, had written software for many years that controlled valves for 2D LC and she had seen some of his earlier attempts written for DOS systems. She hired her cousin, Jimmy Ray Valdasini, a noted programmer, and he wrote the first version of the 2DLC program which ran on Windows 95. The software was later updated to run under Windows 2000 and then XP. Later, mass spectrometry was added. Although trained as a speech therapist, Nancy has shown time and time again that her business interests are diverse. From software to baking businesses, Nancy has driven Kroungold Analytical into diverse product and consulting areas.
