SpectroChip’s main objective is to shrink a lunchbox-sized spectrometer down to the size of an SD card, creating the SpectroChip. This chip retains the same functionality as its larger counterpart, but with a much smaller footprint. This will provide a compact and portable alternative for spectrometry procedures.

This spectrometer-on-chip technology is the result of years of research and development led by Professor Ko. It has seen significant advancements in optical theory and manufacturing.

Spectrometry is a versatile analytical tool used in various industries such as environmental, medical and life sciences, food and agriculture, safety and security, and semiconductors to mention a few. It is used for component analysis and quantification, monitoring of chemical reactions, and quality control in manufacturing processes. 

SpectroChip can be used in virtually all fields and industries, just like traditional spectrometers. In fact, the data obtained from the SpectroChip device is equally (if not more) precise and accurate than that of conventional spectrometers.

SpectroChip technology is revolutionizing the spectrometer industry with its unique features.

Due to its high level of miniaturization and integration of optical components, SpectroChip technology has the advantage to be used in the development of more portable and/or embedded devices that provide real-time quantitative results with high sensitivity (ppm and ppb levels) and accuracy. For example, the One InstantCare device integrated with SpectroChip has been successfully used in the rapid test for Covid-19 antigen and antibody quantification. 

In addition, the SpectroChip technology can integrate with AI and mobile applications that allow users to perform tests, record data, interpret results in real time, and upload information to the Cloud.

SpectroChip technology is backed by more than 40 patents registered in the United States, China and Taiwan.
