Technology | Introduction to Biosensor technology

Detection equipment and systems need to be fast, accurate and easy to handle and should be able to operate in difficult, contaminated environments. Biosensor's researchers have taken an unconventional route and established the basis for a new class of multi-application detectors using biotechnology - the BIOSENS® system.

The BIOSENS® solution analyses vapour and particle trace chemicals. These chemical traces are created when materials are moved, manipulated or changed in some way. Traces can be in vapor, solid or in liquid form. The system recognizes an increasing number of substances with a high Probability of Detection (POD) and low False Alarm Rates (FAR).

The BIOSENS® system has features that allow it to analyse an array of chemicals from one sample. In addition, the BIOSENS® system will not only alarm for a chemical - it will also identify the substance.
