The SCiO solution combines two integrated technological components, the revolutionary SCiO Sensor, and the powerful SCiO Cloud. Together these disruptive technologies provide a comprehensive end to end solution that gives you everything your business needs for instant material analysis
The SCiO Sensor
We took the traditional Near Infrared Spectrometer and, using advances in micro-optical technology, miniaturized it. The patented optical head is just a few millimeters in size and provides sensitivity and accuracy levels on par with the best bench spectrometers. The low power consumption and zero warm up time make it highly responsive and extremely efficient, allowing it to perform hundreds of scans from a small rechargeable battery

The SCiO Cloud
The SCiO cloud provides the analytical processing power and hosts the material databases
Material Databases
These databases can be collected by Consumer Physics, or by our customers. Some databases are publicly available, and some are proprietary and available only to a specific organization
SCiO Sensing Models
The SCiO cloud hosts the chemometric models and algorithms that analyze spectra and convert them into useful material data. These are developed by our team of experts according to individual business requirements.
Our chemometric models run on a linearly scalable architecture, which allows us to provide fast response times to a practically infinite number of users and devices
SCiO Advanced Model Developer Tools
We build your spectroscopy solution for you, or we can give you an advanced suite of tools for you to collect your own data and build your own models.
SCiO Lab: Developer Toolkit is an easy-to-use tool that enables you to customize SCiO to meet your specific material analysis needs. It allows you to create customized molecular sensing models by collecting spectra of the relevant materials with SCiO and the SCiO Lab Mobile application.
After collecting the required spectra, SCiO Lab Web creates the models, analyzes the spectral data, and generates the algorithm. Models are then deployed in the cloud and used to analyze materials with SCiO devices.
