SCiO Molecular Scanner Detects Chemical Composition

Consumer Physics Corp. from Israel recently launched the SCiO Molecular Scanner on Kickstarter. This product is not only easy to operate but also stable in performance, and it can quickly detect the chemical composition of items. Today we will introduce the molecular scanner product in detail and hope to help everyone.

This product has a future science and technology sense in the United States science fiction film StarTrek. Users only need to point the Zippo lighter size scanner at the fruit, you can know the degree of ripeness of fruit, no longer need to touch or peel.

Israeli research and development staff said that the device called Scios can be applied to any physical object, to detect the calorie composition of food, but also to detect the various pharmaceutical ingredients contained in the tablet.

And the role of SCiO is not only these, users can also scan a plate of food, know the calorie and fat composition of food, and thus ensure the health of the diet. In addition, the patient can also scan the tablet to confirm that he has not taken the wrong drug (or was poisoned). Gardening enthusiasts and farmers can also be used to scan the soil to see if it needs to be watered. The founder of ConsumERPhysics said: "Imagine that you can know the chemical composition of any item in front of you. The application of this product is unlimited."

Researchers also said that this device can even be expanded into a medical sensor for analyzing various organs and body fluids. The SciO device can send real-time detection results to the application of the user's smartphone through a Bluetooth signal.

The SciO device uses near-infrared spectroscopy and is based on the principle that each molecule vibrates and interacts in different ways to form a unique optical mark. The application included in this product allows the user to understand the composition of the food, the ingredients of the medicine, etc. The app can list the macro nutrients (such as calories, fats, sugars, and proteins), quality, maturity, and degree of decay of various foods such as fruits, vegetables, sauces, salads, and oils.

SciO can also identify the molecular makeup of various drugs in tablets in real time to verify its efficacy. SciO can also analyze the humidity of plants and inform users of timely watering. In addition, SciO's detectable substances include cosmetics, clothing, soil, jewelry, stones, leather, rubber, grease, plastics, and even human organs and body fluids.

It is reported that the device will be officially released in the fall of 2014, the company said that subsequent applications will be updated regularly. SCiO has now raised 830,000 U.S. dollars, which is four times the original plan of 200,000 U.S. dollars, and 40 days of fundraising. It seems that everyone is very concerned about food and drug safety, and the power of science fiction fans is also very strong. SCiO price is expected to be 299 US dollars (about 1900 yuan), will ship in December this year.
