Green Eyes

What Green Eyes does

Green Eyes, LLC is a U.S.-based scientific instrumentation company founded in 2006 by Vincent Kelly in Easton, Maryland, specializing in real-time surface water monitoring systems. The company's product portfolio centers on wet-chemistry discrete analysis for nutrient monitoring, with flagship product NuLAB measuring up to four nutrients simultaneously (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, silicate) using user-scheduled field calibrations for sustained accuracy. Complementary products include AquaMonitor (programmable oceanographic water sampler collecting up to 47 discrete samples), AquaSPECT (submersible multi-channel nutrient analyzer), ProbeGuard (biofouling control chamber with chlorine-based anti-foulant), UGEMS (sediment erodibility measurement via the Gust Microcosm), Water2Web (real-time web data publishing with threshold alerts), and ComScript (cross-platform control and data acquisition software).

The company serves water quality monitoring organizations, environmental research institutions, and water quality restoration projects, with a named customer base spanning academic marine science labs (SFSU Estuary and Ocean Science Center, UMCES Horn Point Lab), government environmental agencies (Environment and Climate Change Canada for Thames River monitoring), and commercial restoration operators (EutroPHIX at Lake Anna and Moses Lake). Revenue derives from hardware sales of instruments, one-time software licensing (ComScript), and professional services for installation and support, with pricing structured as custom quotations rather than standardized tiers. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through gescience.com contact forms, regional distribution partnerships in China, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and industry conference presence (e.g., NALMS 2024).

In April 2025, Green Eyes was acquired by SePRO Corporation, an environmental restoration firm backed by Stanley Capital Partners and Goldman Sachs Alternatives. Founder Vincent Kelly transitioned to Technical Development Manager within SePRO, and the Green Eyes product line now supports SePRO's EutroPHIX water quality restoration division. Pre-acquisition the company operated with 1-10 employees as a founder-owned LLC; post-acquisition it functions as a subsidiary of a PE-backed strategic parent.

Products and services

• NuLAB Automated online water nutrient analyzer using wet chemical discrete analysis for high accuracy monitoring of nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and silicate, with modular design for simultaneous measurement of 1-4 nutrients and user-scheduled field calibrations. Built for water quality monitoring organizations, research institutions, and environmental restoration projects.
• UGEMS Automated sediment erodibility measurement system that adapts the Gust Microcosm using a spinning disk and central suction to generate uniform shear stress across sediments, measuring fine-grained sediment erodibility in a 10 cm core tube over calibrated shear stresses of 0.01-0.6 Pa. Designed for environmental researchers and water quality monitoring programs.
• AquaMonitor Highly programmable oceanographic water sampler using a precision syringe pump to collect up to 47 discrete water samples, supporting autonomous time-series sampling and deployable long-term on moorings or in short-term AUV deployments for up to one year.
