Sensors Under Development
- HCHO - Formaldehyde Sensor
Synkera is developing an advanced solid state metal oxide sensor that uses nanostructured materials to create improvements in sensitivity and selectivity versus state of the art. The first sensor in this new product family, formaldehyde, has been shown to detect just 50 ppb of formaldehyde without preconcentration.

An exciting new line of solid state, room temperature, electrochemical sensors is under development and prototypes will be available soon. These sensors are based upon a novel, non-Nafion, polymeric electrolyte and will address typically associated with traditional electrochemical sensors under very humid or very dry conditions. The first sensor to be released is expected to be for hydrogen sulfide.

Synkera Technologies, Inc. initiated development of solid-state, electrochemical sensors for carbon dioxide (CO2) under a SBIR Phase I grant from NOAA. The targeted application was for use in closed-circuit rebreathers, but the sensor has relevance to numerous other applications. The sensor utilizes a solid polymer electrolyte and microelectrodes and is operated using short chronoamperometric pulses to differentially reduce oxygen (O2) and CO2, making the measurement of CO2 possible.

Liquid or Gaseous Environments.
Acoustic sensors for detection of PCBs in ground water are currently under development. Synkera has developed a unique platform that takes advantage of our ceramic micromachining capabilities and our expertise in nanostructured sensing materials. Although the first product is aimed at use in aqueous environments, this technology is well suited to detection of gaseous species at very low levels.

Humidity or Moisture sensor
This innovative chemiresistive sensor is based on our patented microsensor platform technology. The sensors are produced from self-organized nanostructured aluminum oxide and are designed to perform in many environments where typical moisture sensors cannot operate (like low temperature, low humidity levels or high temperature environments).
