Lumi Products
Lumi Nano
High-resolution spectral capture. Built for the real world.
Lumi Nano is a compact near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer designed for drug screening in the field or laboratory. Using diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, it captures high-resolution spectral data and securely transfers it to the Lumi Analysis app.
Portable, robust and reliable
Weighing just 250 g (0.55 lb), Lumi Nano is easy to transport and use in handheld or benchtop workflows. An IP65-compliant enclosure, Gorilla Glass 3 sensor lenses and compliance with IEC 60068-2-31 drop-testing requirements provide durability in challenging environments.
Long-lasting performance
A rechargeable battery supports more than 1,500 scans per charge and up to three months of standby time, with convenient USB-C charging.
Secure connectivity
Encrypted Bluetooth 5.2 enables secure transfer of spectral data to the Lumi Analysis app.
Simple, hands-free operation
An OLED display provides clear device information, while a stable design and wide sample stage support hands-free analysis. Analysis of substances within plastic packaging protects front-line staff from exposure.
High-resolution spectral capture. Wherever you need it.
Lumi Analysis App
Real-time drug screening. Clear results in seconds.
Lumi Analysis puts powerful drug-screening technology directly into the hands of frontline personnel, delivering rapid results through an intuitive mobile app designed for operational use.
Working seamlessly with Lumi Nano, the app guides users through device connection, calibration, sample scanning and result review. Available for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, it makes sophisticated drug screening accessible wherever it's needed.
Every analysis creates a traceable electronic record, capturing sample details, photographs, timestamps, location information and screening results to support evidence management and case preparation.
Enterprise authentication, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and encrypted data protection help safeguard sensitive information.
Fast, intuitive and secure, Lumi Analysis helps officers make informed decisions with confidence while reducing administrative complexity.
Lumi Dashboard
Turn drug analysis data into operational intelligence.
Lumi Dashboard transforms individual screening results into powerful operational intelligence, helping law enforcement agencies identify emerging threats and make smarter, data-informed decisions.
Through intuitive visualisations, geographic mapping and flexible filtering, this secure, browser-based platform reveals what substances are being detected, where they are appearing and how patterns change over time.
Supervisors and analysts can identify geographic hotspots, monitor emerging substance trends and track device usage across teams and locations.
With exportable data and consolidated operational reporting, Lumi Dashboard supports intelligence-led tasking, targeted deployment and more effective resource allocation.
See the bigger picture. Understand emerging trends. Turn intelligence into action.
Lumi Lab
Rapid drug screening. Smarter laboratory workflows.
Lumi Lab brings speed, efficiency and traceability to forensic drug screening, combining portable near-infrared spectroscopy with a secure desktop application designed for laboratory environments.
Working with Lumi Nano, Lumi Lab streamlines the analytical workflow from case creation and sample registration through to spectral capture, result review and consolidated reporting.
Rapid screening helps forensic teams triage exhibits, prioritise confirmatory testing and manage laboratory resources more effectively. The ability to analyse suitable samples through transparent packaging also reduces unnecessary handling of potentially hazardous substances.
Comprehensive electronic records capture sample details, photographs, instrument information, spectra and screening results, supporting traceability and consistent documentation.
Lumi Lab helps laboratories work more efficiently, improve sample handling safety and focus specialist resources where they matter most.
Lumi Cloud
Secure infrastructure. Intelligent analysis. One connected platform.
Lumi Cloud powers the Lumi Drug Scan ecosystem, connecting frontline screening, laboratory analysis, case management and operational intelligence through secure, scalable cloud infrastructure.
At its core, advanced machine-learning models developed using more than one million scans transform complex spectral data into rapid drug-screening results. Centrally managed updates enable continuous improvements without requiring individual device updates.
Enterprise-grade security, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on and audit logging, protects sensitive information while supporting organisational control. Regional hosting options help agencies meet data sovereignty requirements.
By securely connecting Lumi Analysis, Lumi Lab, Lumi Central and Lumi Dashboard, the platform transforms individual screening events into accessible, traceable information that supports operational decisions.
Secure by design. Powered by intelligence. Built to scale.
Lumi Central
Every case connected. Every result within reach.
Lumi Central brings drug-screening records together in one secure, searchable workspace, simplifying case management and giving authorised personnel convenient access to the information they need.
This web-based application connects cases, samples, analytical results and supporting records across teams and locations, providing a consolidated view of an organisation's drug-screening activity.
Users can quickly locate cases, review sample information, retrieve previous results and access associated analytical data, reducing time spent searching for records and supporting more efficient investigative workflows.
Designed for organisation-wide deployment, Lumi Central combines controlled access with centralised information management to support evidence traceability, accountability and case review.
One connected workspace. Greater visibility. Faster access to the information that matters.

Lumi Drug Scan allows officers to screen suspected drug items directly on the street. Using the Lumi Nano device, officers can scan items through clear plastic packaging, eliminating the need to open packages and reducing exposure risks.
After entering case details and taking a photo of the item, Lumi captures a spectral scan that is securely analyzed in the cloud using advanced drug detection algorithms. Results are delivered almost instantly within the app, and a summary report is automatically emailed to the officer.
This helps maintain sample integrity and speeds up decision-making in the field.
The Lumi Analysis app, available for iOS and Android, is deployed securely via B-2-B and isn’t visible in public app stores.
Co-designed with police, it streamlines the process of analyzing suspected drugs. With enterprise authentication, organizations control access, allowing staff to log in using existing credentials.
The app records event details, including item descriptions, photos, and system data such as time, geolocation, and device info.
After completing an analysis, the system automatically generates and emails a summary report, which can be filed or disclosed as needed.
Lumi uses Microsoft Azure for secure data management. All operational data is stored within your organisation’s approved jurisdiction, ensuring compliance with chain of custody requirements.
Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, with no analysis data stored on the Lumi Nano device or mobile app. Regular backups are taken, with point-in-time restoration available for seven days and long-term retention for ten years.
Lumi is deployed on a secure, highly available Azure Kubernetes Cluster, ensuring zero downtime updates. Independent security tests have been completed, meeting international standards for data security.
Comprehensive training is provided, including in-person courses, how-to guides, and an e-learning module. Users can access an online help site with troubleshooting information directly from the Lumi Analysis app.
A full knowledge base is available for IT support desk staff to offer Tier 1 support. PHF Science uses ServiceNow to manage user incidents and can integrate with a customer’s existing system for seamless support.
