Next Generation Chemical Agent Detection Architecture [Poster]

Sandia National Labs (SNL)-designed, portable chemical warfare agent (CWA) detection systems consist of three-stages: collection, separation, and detection. We use microfabrication technologies to miniaturize these stages and to reduce the overall size, weight, power, and (potentially) cost of the final system. Our newest system consists of a multi-dimensional separation stage and an miniature ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) detector for unprecedented system sensitivity, selectivity, and depth of target list.
