Technologies - Solid-State Molecular Sensor
The patented Solid-State
Molecular Sensorª has
many applications such as developing miniaturized sensor devices for quick
remote screening and recognition of chemical hazards in our environment, along
with chemical/biological warfare (agent) detection. The Solid State Molecular Sensor can also be used
in medical applications, monitoring complex biological structures, test for
allergic reactions and screen for common diseases. Additionally, this technology could hasten
the time that new drugs are introduced into the marketplace when used to detect
the biochemical and molecular responses of cells to candidate drugs.
The Solid State
Molecular Sensor, a nonlinear, bi-refringent waveguide technology that
identifies target molecules in an ambient environment has many applications in
developing miniaturized sensor devices for quick remote screening and
recognition of chemical hazards in the environment. Trace impurities are continuously monitored
for air/water contaminants notably chemical and biological warfare agents, and
for pollution. More importantly, the
technology would have worldwide impact when used in chemical and biological
warfare (agent) detection. Probably the
most lucrative market would be in medical applications. The Solid-State
Molecular Sensor can be used to identify and monitor complex biological
structures, test for allergic reactions and screen for common diseases.
Additionally, this technology could hasten the time that new drugs are
introduced into the marketplace when used to detect the biochemical and
molecular responses of cells to candidate drugs. Approximately the size of a credit card, the
patent pending Solid-State Molecular
Sensor can be worn on clothing and provide constant monitoring with very
low power consumption.
