20. 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.
