What is AGE Scanner?
A non-invasive tissue fluorescence technology to measure Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) in real time—giving clinicians and individuals a clear, actionable picture of biological age and metabolic health.
How the AGE Scanner was invented
The AGE Scanner was not created overnight in a startup lab. It is the result of 20+ years of rigorous clinical research, academic peer reviews, and cross-disciplinary validation in UMCG, Groningen, The Netherlands.
How the AGE Scanner was built
Our engineers and bio-physicists developed a non-invasive optical method to quantify AGEs using fluoresence analysis and algorithmic calibration.
What can the AGE Scanner measure?
The AGE Scanner uses non-invasive tissue fluorescence technology to measure Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) in real time—giving clinicians and individuals a clear, actionable picture of biological age and metabolic health.
The role of AGEs
Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) are irreversible complexes formed when reducing sugars non-enzymatically bond with proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (the Maillard reaction). Over time, these cross-linked proteins accumulate in long-lived tissues, like collagen and vascular elastin, acting as a permanent record of cumulative metabolic stress.

Dr. Dennis Bartels
"The AGE Scanner improves our workflow, enabling better assessments and more accurate treatment predictions.Our clients are more motivated to follow up on our advice, leading to lasting results"
Bai Lian
"Portable and user-friendly, the AGE Scanner Handheld Device delivers rapid biological age assessments with high accuracy. Ideal for home and clinical use, it features a simple interface and rechargeable battery, making it perfect for on-the-go health monitoring.A top-notch tool for monitoring biological age!"
Jan Blaauw
Orthomolecular & natural medicine practitioner
"I use the AGE Scanner with prevention in mind. What important for me is that measurements are concrete, it let you know where things stand. The AGE Scanner is a simple, non-invasive method. Meaning, you don't have to puncture the skin, and it give you the number very quickly."
Sienna Clarke
Integrative health coach Australia
"In my practice in Melbourne, the AGE Scanner provides a quick, accesible snapshot that gets clients thinking seriously about their habits. It's easy to use and reliable, though I'd love a more rugged, outreach-friendly design. Still, it has elevated the quality of my consultations."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about non-invasive glycation assessment and clinical integration
AGE Scanner
How long does one scan take?
A single scan takes only 12 seconds. For accuracy, we recommend using the 5-fold measurement protocol, which brings the total procedure to about one minute. This ensures reliable and reproducible results.
Is the AGE measurement reliable?
Yes. Scientific research shows a strong correlation between the fluorescent signal measured by the AGE Scanner and AGE levels confirmed in biopsies. Numerous studies consistently link AGE accumulation to premature aging and chronic disease. As with any biological measurement, small variations of around 5% may occur when repeated within a short time frame.
Do I need special medical knowledge to use the AGE scanner?
No, you don’t need medical training to operate the AGE Scanner. It is designed to be simple and user-friendly. A basic understanding of healthy aging and lifestyle, however, can help you explain the results more effectively to your clients.
Do clients feel anything during the scan?
No. The scan is completely painless and non-invasive. It uses a small flash of UV light that clients cannot feel.
How quickly will I see results with my clients?
AGEs build up gradually over many years. Once formed, they disappear only slowly. But the good news is that you can slow down the accumulation of new AGEs. With consistent lifestyle changes, improvements may be visible after 3–6 months and further progress often becomes clear over longer follow-up.
