Answering technical questions on caffeine sensors

Data Storage & Cloud Features

  • Cloud-Based Storage: All test data (raw signals, results, timestamps) is automatically sent to the cloud after each run.

  • Access & Reports: Users can view/download reports via the cloud platform, including:

    • Sample name, date/time, operator.

    • Raw signal graphs and analyzed results (e.g., caffeine concentration in mg/g).

    • Exportable PDF reports for record-keeping.

  • Remote Analysis: Data is processed in the cloud, with results displayed on the app in real time.

How the System Works

  1. Sample Prep: Mix 50 µL of coffee/beverage with 50 µL of proprietary buffer (included with the device).

  2. Testing: Load the mixture onto a single-use sensor and scan the assay’s QR code.

  3. Results:

    • Instant readout on the app (e.g., caffeine concentration).

    • Full data synced to the cloud for further analysis.

Key Operational Details

  • Single-Use Sensors: Each test requires a new disposable sensor.

  • Buffer: 500 mL of buffer is provided (~10,000 tests possible with 50 µL per test).

  • Accuracy: Verified against known standards (e.g., Red Bull’s labeled 0.03% caffeine matches test results of ~0.3 mg/g).

  • Licensing:

    • 1-year free license included.

    • Afterward, €99/month for cloud access and updates.

    • Multi-user access requires shared login or additional licenses.

Example Use Cases

  • Red Bull: Matches label claims (0.3 mg/g).

  • Coffee: Distinguishes caffeinated (e.g., 0.146 mg/g) from decaf (0 mg/g).

  • Raw Signals: Coffee shows complex peaks; energy drinks have cleaner signals.

Video Resources

  • Demonstrations available (testing Red Bull/coffee, cloud data access).
