Hi John,
1. Confidence level value will be available in future versions.
2. Currently the samples and scans you collect for application development are your proprietary data.
The data collection is located in cloud based environment and you cannot access other developers collections.
However, once an application is developed, it can be published by SCiO developers and purchased via the app store.

Hi John,
Generally speaking, illicit drugs can be identified using SCiO. However, an important factor to be taken into consideration are the concentration levels of the components within the drugs, as SCiO’s detection threshold varies by material, and is typically 0.1%-1%, and thefore unable to detect any components which are below its 0.1% detection threshold.
Please also note that SCiO is NOT a medical device and should not be used as such.
We have proven feasibility for pill differentiation with our pharmaceuticals application. However, we have not developed an illicit drug database and do not plan to do so in the foreseeable future. There is a vast combination of substances that can be present in various drugs and in order to build a working model an almost endless database of illicit drug combinations would need to be built. Moreover, if the substance were in a compressed powder form, it is quite possible that SCiO may miss the active ingredient if that part of the sample wasn’t scanned.
As with all potential applications, feasibility testing would need to be completed along with development of the corresponding molecular sensing models and a corresponding app.
To develop such an application will require a complete sample collection – which we will not be able to supply. Such an application may be developed by you, the developers community, using our SCiO Development ToolKit (DevKit).

Hi,
Using the Android API, scans can be sent to analysis.
However, adding scans to a collection is done only via SCiO lab mobile application.

Hi Tom,
SCiO mobile application allows you to collect and view the spectrum of samples.
SCiO web application allows you to create model and evaluate its performance.
The Mobile SDK allows you to create a corresponding application, based on the model you have created.
Can you elaborate what is the specific need which is missing?

Hi Otto,
In fact this is the only additional feature that the Researcher Kit provides.
The raw spectra can be downloaded as CSV or JSON file.

Hi Enrico,
The problem was transferred to our software team.
We will keep you updated!

Hi shivak,
This feature is only available for SCiO Researchers via SCiO Researcher Toolkit.
If you would like to upgrade, please contact us at support@consumerphysics.com

Hi Kes,
Your suggestion is of great interest to us and for other SCiO users.
SCiO has shown promise in estimating moisture levels as well as protein content and other nutritional values of various vegetables, grains and plants.
Keep us posted!

Hi Ozan,
SCiO can detect many solubles in solutions, as well as different kinds of alcohol liquids and attributes such us purity. This is an interesting direction that justifies development efforts, either by Consumer Physics, or by a SCiO DevKit developer’s community, including yourself.
As SCiO is currently designed for the scanning of solid samples and in order to provide the best quality measurement of the special optical characteristics of liquids – a liquid sampling accessory (available in the near future) will be required in order to sample.

Hi Den,
Generally speaking, a properly sized collection to provide meaningful results or analysis should include no less than 40 different samples and have 3 scans per sample (or more or less depending on your samples and your needs).
Can you share what is the desired model you want to create? Would you like to classify 3 different pills?
In this case, less than 40 samples is enough.

Hi all,
Please note that the analysis of liquids requires a liquid accessory to provide the best quality measurement of the special optical characteristics of liquids. The liquid accessory will be available in our online store by the end of Fabuary.

Hi all,
For food products that exist in our database, and if a relevant application was developed, the total carbohydrates content is detectable using SCiO. Currently, our applications include nutritional values of various fruits, vegetables and dairy products. As our database expands we plan to introduce other food related apps such a drinks, meats, fruit ripeness and more.
If you would like to know the total amount of carbohydrates in a specific food, you will need to know its total size or weight, similar to other nutrition measurement apps, as measurements will be provided by serving size and/or 100 grams.
As mentioned, SCiO is a learning device. The values that should be populated in the database should be based on chemical analysis conducted by laboratories, rather than based on the product label values.
