ChemSense
HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS | DEVELOPMENT
APPLICATION OPPORTUNITY / DEVELOPMENT
Molecular insight for hazardous environments.
Nuclear, biological & chemical, NBC threats require instant detection. Legacy CBRN equipment is heavy, expensive and slow.
Making molecular information more accessible.
Chemical environments can contain complex mixtures of molecules that may be difficult to characterise quickly at the point of need. ChemSense explores the opportunity to apply selective molecular sensing where timely molecular information could provide additional insight.
FROM APPLICATION NEED TO MOLECULAR INSIGHT
NanoSense is designed as a configurable molecular sensing platform. For each application, the sensing approach can be considered around the problem, target molecules, operating environment and information required.
PROBLEM
Define the application need
TARGET
Identify the molecular information of interest.
CONFIGURE
Consider the sensing approach for the application.
SENSE
Capture molecular responses.
ANALYSE
Examine the resulting molecular information.
VALIDATE
Establish evidence for the intended application.
APPLICATION
Develop the sensing approach toward practical use.
DEVELOPMENT
ChemSense is at an early stage of application development. The focus is on understanding where selective molecular sensing could provide meaningful value, defining relevant targets and environments, and developing the evidence required to assess the opportunity.
1
Define the application need
Understand the environment, use case and information required.
2
Identify relevant targets
Establish which molecular targets may be relevant to the application.
3
Develop the sensing approach
Explore how the NanoSense platform could be configured for the application.
4
Build the evidence
Generate and assess evidence to determine whether the approach can deliver useful application-level information.
Exploring the potential.
The ChemSense opportunity is to explore whether selective molecular sensing can provide useful information in chemical environments where conventional approaches may not always provide information at the point or speed required.
SELECTIVE
Focus on molecular targets relevant to the application rather than attempting to measure everything present.
RAPID
Explore the potential for timely molecular information closer to where decisions may need to be made.
CONFIGURABLE
Consider how the NanoSense platform could be adapted to different application requirements and target environments.
Develop the opportunity with NanoSense
ChemSense is being explored as an application of the NanoSense molecular sensing platform.
