Imagine shrinking a giant, expensive laboratory machine that identifies chemicals down to the size of a computer chip. This technology uses light to 'fingerprint' molecules in liquids and gases instantly. It's like giving a handheld device the power of a full-scale chemistry lab to check fuel or soil quality on the spot.
Conventional chemical analysis requires bulky, expensive benchtop FTIR spectrometers that cannot be deployed in the field. This creates a gap in real-time monitoring for hydrogen quality, fuel purity, and sustainable farming.
A new generation of miniaturized MEMS-FTIR spectrometers for liquids and laser-based MEMS PTS spectrometers for gases, integrated into sensing platforms.
If you are an AgTech manufacturer dealing with the need for real-time soil and crop nutrient analysis—this project developed a MEMS-based FTIR spectrometer that allows for sustainable farming monitoring directly in the field.
If you are a hydrogen supply chain operator dealing with purity and quality monitoring—this project developed a miniaturized PTS spectrometer for gases that ensures fuel quality without needing bulky benchtop instruments.
If you are a fuel testing company dealing with the slow process of analyzing FAME in fuel—this project developed a compact spectral sensing platform that enables rapid, on-site quality control.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not listed, but the project explicitly aims to reduce production costs compared to bulky benchtop instruments.
Yes, the project utilizes silicon-MEMS technology and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), which are standard for high-volume semiconductor manufacturing.
Based on available project data, the project uses Neospectra as a development platform; specific licensing terms for the new BROMEDIR extensions are not provided.
Validations are expected to initiate at the beginning of 2026 and continue until the end of the project period.
The project develops integrated sensing platforms using novel modules and smart setups to fit into diversified application domains.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 11 partners, featuring a 73% industry ratio (8 companies). The dominance of 7 SMEs suggests a strong focus on commercial agility and rapid prototyping rather than purely academic research, with a geographical spread across 6 European countries.
