Products
Portable cartridge-based anthrax diagnostic (field cartridge)
Handheld cartridge that integrates selective culturing, magnetic-valve microfluidics and lateral flow readout to enable rapid, field-portable detection of Bacillus anthracis; platform intended for extension to other pathogens.
Dosimetry and radiation detection devices
Devices for measuring accumulated radiation dose and real-time detection using OSL dosimetry, GM counters, photodiode-based detectors and RF techniques for military, first responders and safeguards.
Solar-cell based X-ray/gamma detector assemblies
Detector assemblies that use modified photovoltaic cells and signal processing to detect X‑ray and gamma radiation; scalable in arrays for directionality and energy information.
