What Atlas Scientific does

Atlas Scientific is a privately held, Brooklyn-based manufacturer of environmental and electrochemical sensors founded in 2008. The company designs and builds precision water-quality and gas sensing hardware for industrial process monitoring, robotics and automation, controlled-environment agriculture, and hobbyist/research markets. Its core technology platform is the EZO family of embedded circuits (covering pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, temperature, CO2, oxygen, and humidity), complemented by half-cell pH probes, OEM-class circuits with 12mm x 11mm footprints for mass production, and industrial-grade kits with PLC-ready 4-20mA outputs. Key compliance milestones include ISO 10523 (pH) and ISO 7888 (electrical conductivity) adherence, plus RoHS, CE, and CSA certifications on flagship OEM products.

The company monetizes through one-time hardware sales across four streams: individual sensors and probes, pre-configured kits (entry-level pH kits at $159.99 to Wi-Fi Aquaponics kits at $1,199.99), OEM embedded circuits sold at deep volume discounts (up to 80% off at 2,000 units), and accessories and consumables such as calibration solutions and flow cells. Go-to-market is product-led, anchored on a direct e-commerce storefront with worldwide shipping, a global distributor network for industrial buyers, and an OEM sales motion targeting robotics and automation integrators. Free AtlasDesktop software and Arduino/Python/Raspberry Pi sample-code libraries are used to reduce integration friction and drive organic adoption among engineers.

Atlas Scientific operates with 1-10 employees, has filed at least one pending patent related to its pH OEM circuit, and supports customers through GitHub, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram presence. There is no disclosed institutional funding beyond a single $100,000 round on 2013-08-13 and no publicly reported revenue, ARR, or headcount trajectory; leadership consists of CEO Jordan Press with directors Noah Press and David Alter.
