# Bluelight Analytics

> Bluelight Analytics is the expert in dental light curing. We make light curing — the final, invisible step that activates nearly every dental restoration — measurable, teachable, and provable. Our measurement products and services sit behind 200+ peer-reviewed publications. Founded in 2009 out of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; we work with dentists, dental support organizations (DSOs), dental manufacturers, and dental schools worldwide.

Light curing determines whether a composite restoration actually hardens and bonds. Under-cured restorations fail later as sensitivity, recurrent decay, and early replacement. Most curing lights in clinical use are never measured. Bluelight builds the products and programs that measure and improve it — at the chair, in the lab, and in the classroom.

## Products

- [CheckMARC](https://www.bluelightanalytics.com/products/checkmarc/): An expert-led, on-site curing-light evaluation for dental clinics. A CheckMARC partner visits the practice, tags and measures every curing light at the tip and at 6 mm clinical depth, and returns an operator-level report with the exact cure times your materials need. Requesting a first evaluation is free.
- [CheckMARC for Manufacturers](https://www.bluelightanalytics.com/products/checkmarc-for-manufacturers/): Real-world field evidence for dental manufacturers. Every CheckMARC test is a timestamped, geolocated measurement tagged to make, model, mode, tip, and the materials a clinic stocks, aggregated across tens of thousands of clinics — evidence no lab study can produce.
- [MARC-LC (Light Collector)](https://www.bluelightanalytics.com/products/marc-lc/): A NIST-referenced laboratory instrument that measures a curing light's spectral output and power (to ISO/ANSI) and the energy transmitted through composite or ceramic specimens via top and bottom sensors. The laboratory reference behind 200+ publications.
- [MARC-PS (Patient Simulator)](https://www.bluelightanalytics.com/products/marc-ps/): A teaching product for dental schools that gives students real-time, per-student feedback as they learn to cure, so light curing becomes a measurable competency.
