Introducing the SpectraFlex™ Flex Sensor. Enjoy unmatched accuracy with minimal drift, making it a reliable choice for research, industrial operations, or personal projects. This is our lightest sensor to date, a perfect balance of convenience and top-notch performance due to its reduced weight and thickness, which allows maximum adaptability across many applications. Not only is it feather-light, but it’s also incredibly durable, demonstrating a lifespan of over 2 million bend cycles at 180 degrees over an 8mm radius, effectively outlasting and outperforming its predecessors by more than double.

The revolutionary low drift technology it employs ensures near-zero drift, making each reading precise. SpectraFlex stands out with its swift signal responsiveness.
