Continuous Monitoring of Natural Gas Infrastructure for Increased Community Resilience using Voltammetric Sensors
SBC: FULLMOON SENSORS, INC. Topic: NoneFullmoon has the first chip-level sensors capable of identifying and quantifying molecules in the air. At the core of our technology are printed voltammetric sensors, which are operated using cyclic voltammetry, an electrochemical technique that probes for the redox potential, a unique signature of molecules. We have demonstrated this sensing principle for the detection of carbon monoxide and meth ...

Compact Raman Fiber Optic Probe with Inline Spectral Filtering
SBC: Nikira Labs Inc. Topic: NoneIn this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to develop a compact Raman fiber optic probe with inline spectral filtering that improves fiber-coupled Raman measurements by filtering out Raman scattering from the excitation fiber and elastically scattered laser light from the collection fibers. The technology will enable compact fiber probes for Raman studies i ...

Developing Silicon Nanowire Sensors to Measuring Host-Cell Proteins at a Biomanufacturing Line
SBC: Advanced Silicon Group Topic: NoneOur biosensor is made of silicon nanowire arrays functionalized with antibodies to measure the concentration of specific proteins. In this grant we will take a sensor that has been demonstrated for use in measuring a set of generic host cell proteins and we will apply the sensor to measure a set of proteins for a specific cell line. In doing so, we will demonstrate the utility of our sensor to be ...
