Developing Reusable SERS Substrates with High Signal Enhancement and Low Inherent Background based on Scalable Ultrafast Laser-Hydrothermal Hybrid Method
SBC: ALCHLIGHT Topic: CBD213001This proposal addresses probably the most critical issue for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in real-world applications, i.e., the lack of commercially available robust SERS active substrates that can simultaneously provide a high SERS enhancement and an inherent low background signature. AlchLight is an established Army SBIR-II contractor. Founding members of AlchLight invented a scalabl ...

Portable Robust Low Power Enhanced Plasma Decontamination System
SBC: GOLKOWSKI CZESLAW Topic: CBD203003The release of biological or chemical agents poses a serious threat to both civilian and military assets. Recent events highlight the growing need for immediate decontamination of affected equipment in the presence of harmful spores, bacteria, and viruses. Effective decontamination of electronics and sensitive equipment is a recognized challenge. Nonthermal or cold plasma based technologies offer ...

A Next Generation, High-Precision, Field Drug Detection System
SBC: SensoDX II, LLC Topic: A16AT008The synthetic opioids fentanyl and carfentanil pose an imminent national security threat, given the ease with which they can be obtained, their low lethal doses, and their potential for weaponized use. The purpose of this agreement is to adapt SensoDx’s high-performance miniaturized diagnostics platform based on a programmable bio-nano-chip, with embedded artificial intelligence, to enable U.S. ...

Innovative concept for detection and identification of biological toxins
SBC: PHOEBUS OPTOELECTRONICS LLC Topic: CBD14101The objective of the proposed Phase II project is to develop a hand-held, rapid plasmonic biosensor -- a detector based upon surfaceplasmon resonances (SPR) that incorporates a new class of supercharged proteins that functionalize a low-cost, disposable plasmonicchip. Each protein is designed to bind to a pre-determined toxin with high specificity. Upon successful binding, the protein superfoldsre ...

Concurrent identification of Natural Antibiotics-Producing Gene Clusters and Culture Conditions
SBC: Carrera Bioscience Inc. Topic: CBD152004Modern metagenomics studies on diverse microbiomes revealed immense repertoires of potential natural products/antibiotics to be tapped into.However, identifying such secondary metabolites (SMs) directly from a complex microbiome remains rarely successful due to two major technicalchallenges: i) difficulty in dissecting complex microbiome samples and massive metagenomics data, and ii) difficulty in ...

Innovative concept for detection and identification of biological toxins
SBC: PHOEBUS OPTOELECTRONICS LLC Topic: CBD14101We aim to create a low-cost, high-sensitivity hand-held plasmonic biosensor capable of sensing biotoxins. We will do this by using newly developed biodesign technology to create a new class of proteins which have an orders-of-magnitude increase in SPR signal-to-noise. These will be incorporated into a novel SPR device in which the transmission of light is affected by the binding of a particular t ...

Narrowband Perfect Absorber using Metamaterials
SBC: PHOEBUS OPTOELECTRONICS LLC Topic: CBD11102We will continue developing a plasmonic metamaterial with strong absorption within a narrow band that is dynamically tunable over the 8-10 micron range. A metamaterial consisting of one or more bi-layers of thin metal and dielectric films will trap, concentrate and absorb a narrow frequency band while strongly reflecting out-of-band light. Tuning the frequency of the absorption band may be achiev ...

Narrowband Perfect Absorber using Metamaterials
SBC: PHOEBUS OPTOELECTRONICS LLC Topic: CBD11102We propose a metamaterial-enhanced microbolometer with strong absorption over a narrow band that is dynamically tunable over the 8-10 micron band. A single-layer photonic metamaterial consisting of a thin metal film perforated with a 2-D array of dielectric apertures will be deposited on an amorphous-Silicon layer acting as an absorber and bolometer. The metamaterial, in conjunction with planar di ...

Multiplex Microsphere Assay for Botulinum Neutralizing Antibodies
SBC: AGAVE BIOSYSTEMS INC. Topic: CBD11109Currently, the accepted standard experimental model for measuring protective efficacy against botulism is the Mouse Lethality Neutralization (MLN) assay. Botulism poisoning is a life threatening condition that is not only a public health concern, but could also be a potential biological weapon. With seven serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins, there is need for an alternative to the MLN assay due t ...

A High-Throughput Blood Esterase Panel Assay
SBC: AGAVE BIOSYSTEMS INC. Topic: CBD10108Organophosphorus chemical warfare nerve agents (OP-CWA) are attractive to terrorist groups and rogue states as an inexpensive and accessible technology for chemical warfare. OP-CWA and organophosphate pesticides cause severe neurological symptoms and death by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE); the resulting excess acetylcholine accumulates and overstimulates the human or animal bo ...
