Laboratory instruments
Lab-grade selectivity and sensitivity — but the sample has to travel to the instrument.
- Accurate, but slow and expensive
- Requires lab infrastructure and trained staff
- Not designed for products or field use
SmartSelect combines controlled sampling, molecular selectivity, sensor integration, measurement intelligence and system integration. It enables industrial partners to add reliable, application-specific chemical sensing to their products and processes.
The market gap
Laboratory instruments provide high-quality measurements but are difficult to embed into distributed products and workflows. Individual sensors are compact and scalable, but they are only one part of the solution. SmartSelect™ closes the gap.

Lab-grade selectivity and sensitivity — but the sample has to travel to the instrument.

Compact, low-cost and scalable — but a component, not a measurement.

Modular lab-grade specificity and sensitivity, outside the lab.
Where Alivion fits
Alivion provides the SmartSelect™ sensing platform and works with OEM partners to turn it into application-specific products. Alivion builds the sensing; the partner brings it to market.
Alivion applies SmartSelect™ to the specific measurement challenge and validates the technical path together with the partner.
Alivion configures the SmartSelect™ modules into an application-specific sensing system, based on the partner’s use case and product requirements.
The sensing system is integrated into the partner’s product, platform or workflow.
The partner owns the resulting product and customer relationship and leads commercialization and scaling.
Commercial structure: Engagements typically progress from paid feasibility and integration work to platform licensing and deployment-linked royalties.
When SmartSelect™ is relevant
The strongest applications combine a meaningful measurement problem with a clear product or process owner and a practical route to deployment.
Bring high-quality chemical analysis directly into production processes, field workflows, medical devices, industrial systems or distributed products.
Distinguish the target molecule from interferents and maintain dependable performance in changing real-world samples and environments.
Configure the complete sensing system to fit the partner’s product architecture, process, data interfaces and operating environment.
What partners gain
Partners build on SmartSelect™ instead of developing the full chemical sensing stack internally—while retaining ownership of the final product, customer experience and route to market.
Add chemical information that standard sensor components alone cannot deliver reliably.
Move from a defined measurement need to a working system using reusable platform modules and proven application know-how.
Build on a validated, patent-protected platform instead of an internal development from scratch.
Compact, manufacturable sensing that scales with the partner's product volumes and market channels.
SmartSelect™ platform
Configured for each application, the modules work together as one complete chain—from the right sample to trusted insights inside the partner's platform.

Delivers the right gas or headspace sample reproducibly and controls the flow and operating conditions required by the measurement.

Micro-GC-enabled molecular identification distinguishes the target molecule from interferents in complex real-world samples.

Selects, integrates and operates the optimal sensor for the application, including its electrical interface and readout.

Turns sensor signals into usable results through calibration, signal interpretation, environmental correction and quality checks.

Builds the measurement method into the partner's platform, product workflow and data interface—ready to perform.
Evidence
We are preparing published performance data, field validation results and partner case studies for this platform. This section will be updated shortly.
