Welcome to SpectraFluidics Vapor Trace Chemical Detection

SpectraFluidics’ innovative technology provides gas-phase, molecular-specific detection of chemicals including explosives, illicit drugs, biomarkers and other low volatility compounds at parts-per-trillion (ppt) concentration levels. SpectraFluidics technology does not require sample preparation, reagents, swabbing, or other handling techniques that can limit detection capabilities and slow throughput in field applications.

A Platform Solution

A Platform SolutionSpectrafluidics' technology is embodied in a consumable cartridge that delivers ppt sensitivity and molecular specificity in a fast and cost effective manner. The core technology can readily be adapted and functionalized to address a wide range of applications and instrument configurations.

 

Naturally Inspired Technology
Naturally Attractive TechnologyFree surface microfluidics is a fundamentally new area of science, inspired by nature, developed and perfected by Spectrafluidics to naturally select and preconcentrate trace chemical vapors into a thin film continuous flow fluid. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is used to interogate the collected sample and produce a unique spectral signature of the collected vapor molecules.
