Mode Labs is a deep-technology company pioneering optical microcavity sensing for real-time chemical detection in liquids. The firm's core technology leverages quantum-inspired principles to amplify light reflection up to 10,000 times within microcavities, enabling highly sensitive measurements. This approach is designed for applications across environmental monitoring, water quality assessment, precision aquaculture, wastewater process control, and defence and security.
Spun out of Oxford University, Mode Labs is currently advancing its sensor technology through beta programs. Two key products in development are a total phosphorus sensor and an ammonia sensor, both intended for real-time chemical detection in liquids. The company's team comprises scientists, engineers, and industry experts.
Mode Labs secured £3 million in pre-seed investment to fund its research and development activities. The company's headquarters are linked to Oxford University.
