Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

ScanSpectrum is a series of portable spectrometers enabling users to bring the lab to the field. Soils, waters, plants, and other specimens requiring dry and wet chemistry analyses can be now be executed in the field with high precision. Built in-house by QED (https://qed.ai), our technologies replicate the performance of laboratory equipment, at a small fraction of the price. NIR spectroscopy and colorimetry are brought into the palm of your hand by interfacing ScanSpectrum hardware with your Android smartphone. ** Note that you must have QED hardware to use this software!! Your phone cannot become a spectrometer using an Android app alone, it's impossible! Please visit https://url.qed.ai/scanspectrum-request if you are interested in partnership. **

ScanSpectrum APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of ScanSpectrum for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 5.0 or later. Version 1.10.0 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 4.4 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 1.10.0 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
