Enhanced Sensitivity Explosives Sensors (Yissum)
- Summary
- Most sensitive sensors available to date – considerably more sensitive than dogs
Sensitivity of 10-15 molar achieved
Readout signal for sensing is electrochemical (current) or optical (surface plasmon resonance)
Available readers will need adaptation for field work
Analysis of TNT and RDXHighly sensitive explosives detectors based on the molecular imprinting of recognition sites for various explosives in a 3-dimensional network of metallic nano-particles associated with surfaces.
The explosives particles are collected and dissolved in water droplets that are then analyzed.Highly sensitive explosives detectors based on the molecular imprinting of recognition sites for various explosives in a 3-dimensional network of metallic nano-particles associated with surfaces.
