Keep It Simple. Make It Known.
Don’t Estimate. Know more than just your material.
Unknown Labs delivers next generation identification for real-world decisions. We combine precision spectrography hardware, advanced software, and a secure cloud environment to help you go beyond simple field results.
A single measurement is enough to reveal not just a material’s identity, but also the deeper context surrounding it. How does the substance behave, where does it fit, and what risks or opportunities does it carry? We make it known.
We don’t stop at identification. Our tools let you analyze, compare, and build knowledge over time. Scientists, industry leaders, and experts already trust our solutions.
Trace origins, detect anomalies, protect your brand’s identity. Avoid harm and turn every measurement into confidence so decisions are made with certainty, not assumption.
From Past to Future.
Past.
Unknown Labs’ journey started in one of the most demanding identification markets: gemstones. We continue to partner with a leading gem laboratory with offices around the world including the USA, London, and Dubai while being supported by Luxembourg’s Ministry of Economy.
We tackled fragmented instruments, proprietary software, and expert-only interpretation. Our path to success led us to standardize data, harden workflows, and remove human error at scale. The result was a production-grade system backed by 7,000+ unique gemstone IDs and proven reliability in a regulated, high-value environment.
Present.
We moved into high-stakes domains: Narcotics, harm prevention, and environmental toxins.
These fields demand instant, trustworthy decisions at the point of use. Today, our systems identify substances, flag dangerous adulterants, and screen materials for toxic compounds securely and transparently. The same system naturally supports CBRNE-adjacent use cases where high risk is inevitable.
Future.
Next, Unknown Labs is establishing a dedicated toxicology laboratory to validate data in-house and strengthen our infrastructure. This will enhance databases, improve cross-validation between field and lab results, and support regulated toxicology workflows.
The Experts.
Unknown Labs’ team is anchored by five leaders in their field, each selected for deep, complementary expertise. The team showcases diversity with members representing the USA, Tunisia, France, Italy, and Bulgaria.
Our team is composed of:
Experts with a PhD in Chemical Analysis who bring experience with world class instrumentation such as Gilson and MSc. Our Material Engineer brings experience with advanced industrial and aerospace programs such as Lamborghini and Lilium. The technical side is completed by a specialist in robotics and software engineering who previously worked for Siemens.
The company is led by an American founder with an MSc. in Integrative Technologies, whose expertise is boosted by having worked with Airbus to bring a systems-level approach that bridges hardware, software, and applied science.
This core team is reinforced by an extended supply chain of elite programmers and data engineers who design and operate systems at the scale of frameworks used by banks, national infrastructures, and power grids. Their experience in big data, secure architectures, and high-reliability systems ensures that our platforms are not only scientifically rigorous, but also scalable, resilient, and ready for real-world deployment.
Together, this breadth of expertise allows Unknown Labs to operate as part of the next generation of analytical technologies. We combine chemistry, materials science, automation, and large-scale data systems into a single, coherent ecosystem designed to move fast, operate in the field, and deliver answers that matter.
