Step 1 of 6
Sample
Any fluid, taken where it matters — on the vessel, at the line, in the field. No reagents, no pretreatment, no skilled operator.
Each new sample type widens the reference space the platform can recognise.

Fluid intelligence
for fleets and defence
Lab-grade analysis of fuel, lubricants and coolant on board — in minutes, by the crew you already have. No reagents, no shipment to shore.

What on-board analysis changes

- fuel saved through predictive maintenance
- Minutes
- from sample to result, not weeks
- Zero
- reagents or sample preparation
- Any

On board
What you can measure where the fluid is
One drop, one cuvette, one reading — for the fluids that keep a vessel running.
-
Fuel quality
Density, contamination and blend consistency of bunker fuel before it reaches the engine.
-
Lubricant condition
Oxidation, water in oil and additive depletion, tracked per engine over time.
-
Coolant and hydraulic fluid
Glycol concentration, degradation and contamination, checked between services.
-
Wastewater and ballast
Turbidity and residual content, documented for port and flag inspections.
-
Drinking and process water
Hardness, chlorine and turbidity for crew and process supply.
-
Dual-use and defence platforms
The same portable workflow for vessels and sites that cannot depend on a shore laboratory.
How it works
From engine room to decision
A crew member takes a drop of the fluid and places it in a SpectroCuvette™. The reading is made on a supported spectrophotometer, or on SpectroCase™, the rugged portable unit for vessels without a lab.
SpectroLink™ moves the spectrum to the cloud and SpectroWorks™ returns lab-grade properties in minutes — with a traceable record for every engine on every voyage.
Compare
Shipping samples ashore versus measuring on board
Most fleets still send fluid samples to a central laboratory. Here is what changes when the measurement happens where the fluid is.
Sending samples to a lab
- Results in one to three weeks
- Sample degrades in transit
- Courier, customs and lab fees per sample
- Decisions made on old data
- One reading per port call
Measuring on board
- Results in minutes
- Fresh sample, no transit
- One consumable per reading, no reagents
- Adjust the process while it still matters
- Trend every engine on every voyage
Equipment
What you need on board
A small kit that fits in a case and works with instruments many vessels already carry — or with SpectroCase™ where there is no instrument on board.
-
SpectroCuvette™ One
The consumable: one drop, lab-grade optics, no reagents.
-
SpectroLink™
Connects the instrument to the cloud and streams every reading.
-
SpectroWorks™
Trained models, results in minutes, full traceability.
The product ecosystem
AI-Powered Fluid Intelligence Platform
One loop, from sample to decision. The platform upgrades traditional UV-Vis spectroscopy with new capabilities and performance.
AI core
Fluid Intelligence
More measurements → better models → sharper insight
Step 2 of 6
Prepare
A single drop goes into a patented nano-optical consumable. The cuvette itself carries the optics that turn a standard instrument into a multi-parameter analyser.
SpectroCuvette™ One
SpectroCuvette™ S
SpectroPlate96™ — coming soon
One consumable format scales from single samples to 96-well screening.
Step 3 of 6
Measure
Read it on any supported UV-Vis spectrophotometer — or on SpectroCase™, the rugged portable unit built for sites without a lab.
SpectroCase™ Supported instruments
Hardware-agnostic capture means the installed base becomes the network.
Step 4 of 6
Connect
SpectroLink™ lifts the spectrum straight off the instrument and into the cloud — acquisition, transfer and results in one uninterrupted workflow.
SpectroLink™ Every connected instrument streams structured data back to the core.
Step 5 of 6
Analyse
SpectroWorks™ applies trained models to the spectrum and returns lab-grade fluid properties in minutes, with full traceability.
SpectroWorks™ Models retrain on the growing measurement corpus — accuracy compounds.
Step 6 of 6
Act
A decision on the spot: adjust the process, flag the batch, schedule the service. Minutes instead of a shipment to a central lab.
Verified outcomes close the loop and feed the next generation of models.
Questions
What fleet managers ask us
Which instruments are supported?
Any UV-Vis spectrophotometer on our supported list, or SpectroCase™ where there is no instrument on board. See the supported instruments.
Does the crew need laboratory training?
No. A drop of fluid, a cuvette and a button. SpectroWorks™ handles the analysis and flags what needs attention.
How is data handled for defence and dual-use platforms?
Every reading is stored in SpectroWorks™ with full traceability. Talk to us about deployment options and the data-handling requirements of your platform.
How quickly can a vessel be equipped?
Tell us how many vessels you run and which instruments are already on board, and we will propose a pilot and a rollout plan.
