Problem
Traditional chemical analysis often requires bulky, laboratory-based equipment and trained operators, limiting access to rapid, on-site testing. This creates delays in decision-making for applications such as environmental monitoring, food safety, and industrial quality control, where timely molecular insight is critical.
Solution
LumiSERS provides an adaptable sensing platform that integrates a high-performance SERS sensing surface, portable Raman measurement, and intelligent spectral analysis. The SERS surface amplifies weak Raman signals, improving sensitivity and enabling clearer detection of molecular features. Machine-learning algorithms interpret the complex spectra, identify patterns, and turn raw measurements into actionable insight. This unified architecture can be adapted to different targets and sample types, allowing for rapid, sensitive, and field-deployable chemical analysis across multiple sectors.
Target Audience
Primary customers include environmental testing agencies, agricultural operations, food safety inspectors, and industrial quality control teams that need rapid, on-site chemical analysis.
