Company Background

University of Natural Resources and

Life Sciences, Vienna

Who is s::can

Intelligent

All s::can sensors are intelligent, they are digital and have the controller, the

brain, built in. They check their health every second and can communicate with

the operator.

Optical

If possible, we always use optical methods, since they are just better, more

reliable, simpler and more accurate. If no optical method is suitable, we choose

the next best alternative.

Online

We make nothing for laboratories, nothing that consumes reagents, nothing with

moving parts. s::can is the only real „on-line“ company in the industry that offer

an almost complete range of sensors and parameters, and nothing else.
