Under funding from the USDA Synkera is
developing a novel ammonia sensor for use in
agricultural applications. The current
focus is the monitoring of ammonia levels in
animal housings to help protect human and
animal health. The sensor has a range
of 1-100 ppm and is very selective towards
ammonia. Other applications for the
sensor will include emissions monitoring
from agricultural sources as well as
non-agricultural implementations in
refrigeration and for health & safety. Please click here for a preliminary data

Solid-State Electrochemical Sensors
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. Please

Acoustic Sensors for Measurements in
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. Please

H2O - Relative
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). Please
