→Lack of plausibility and validation
Since the Oligoscan measurement takes less than one minute, it would take Harry Potter magic to calibrate and perform the metal tests and print out the colorful report, all within that time frame.

==Business model and marketing==
For each of the automatically generated "analyzes", the practitioners will charge between 40 and 80 euros (or 60 US $). The practitioner must connect his PC and the device via the Internet with a server from Oligoscan. Whether patient data is transmitted and how data protection is granted remains unclear. For each connection and thus for each measurement, the user has to pay 30 Euro in Germany. The Oligoscan user has to pay 60 analyzes in advance. For the device itself, a price of $ 3000 was set in the US in 2015. In addition, $ 500 were charged for "activation" and another $ 250 for "registration" and "personalization" of the Oligoscan online interface. [12] In Germany, the device would cost just under 2000 euros. According to the Dutch consumer protection organization Skepp, an Oligoscan scanner will cost € 6500. [13]

• Recently, there is a SCIO variant, which is a device that supposedly can quantitatively detect ingredients of food by measuring reflected rays of light. The measurement result is displayed via an app on the display of smartphones.
==Literature==
There is no serious literature regarding Oligoscan to be mentioned (as of May 2018). Only a favorable-uncritical promotional product can be found in the alternative medical journal “Erfahrungsheilkunde”, Haug -Verlag. The author of this publication is Jesse De Groodt, a physiotherapist and osteopath, and not a specialist in the field of clinical chemistry or laboratory medicine. He is also co-owner of Holigomed AG and is a licensee for the distribution of OligoScan in Switzerland, the Principality of Liechtenstein, Germany and Austria.
In summary, publications are missing on important issues such as accuracy of results, reproducibility of the results, possible interferences, statistical results of measurements on the same subjects and comparisons of the results with other measurement methods. Also, no concrete information on the wavelengths used are made.

Another argument against Oligoscan is that spectroscopic measurements of metals through the skin and inside the cell would be of very low concentrations. Such measurements require special sample preparation and special, highly sensitive equipment that can only be operated by highly trained personnel, all of which requires much more time than 20 seconds per test.
