Imagine a super-camera that doesn't just take photos, but can 'feel' the chemical fingerprint of a substance. It combines several different light-sensing tools into one device to see things from a tiny cell level up to a large object. This allows it to spot cancer cells or tiny plastic bits in water that normal cameras would miss.
Current sensing platforms often lack the ability to combine different scales of imaging and spectral ranges in one device. This forces companies to use multiple expensive, slow, or destructive tools to identify materials like microplastics or cancer cells.
A unified digital platform integrating a MEMS-FTIR spectrometer, Raman imaging sensors, visible imaging, and photothermal spectroscopy.
If you are a diagnostic clinic dealing with head and neck cancer detection — this project developed a multimodal imaging platform that provides more accurate tissue diagnostics through multi-scale imaging.
If you are a water utility provider dealing with microplastic contamination — this project developed a hyperspectral imaging sensor that identifies and classifies microplastics in drinking water.
If you are a polymer manufacturer dealing with sustainability verification — this project developed a sensing platform that tests polymer biodegradation in aquatic environments.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, although the project aims to develop a 'low-cost portable' Raman imaging sensor.
The project includes 5 industrial partners and focuses on industrial process control and environmental surveillance, suggesting a path toward industrial scaling.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding IP or licensing agreements provided in the project description.
The project period runs from 2026-06-01 to 2029-11-30, meaning the developed platform will be finalized toward the end of 2029.
The platform is designed as a unified digital platform that uses ML for data fusion to provide actionable outputs.
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, featuring 12 partners with a strong 42% industry ratio (5 companies). The presence of 5 SMEs suggests a focus on agile commercialization, while 6 universities provide the necessary R&D depth across 6 European countries.
