Next Generation Chemical Agent Detection Architecture [Poster]

Moorman, Matthew W.; Miller, Philip R.; Whiting, Joshua W.; Sammon, Jason P.; Pfeifer, Kent B.; Carlson, Dennis L.; Brusseau, Charles B.

Sandia National Labs (SNL)-designed, portable chemical warfare agent (CWA) detection systems consist of three-stages: collection, separation, and detection. We use microfabrication technologies to miniaturize these stages and to reduce the overall size, weight, power, and (potentially) cost of the final system. Our newest system consists of a multi-dimensional separation stage and an miniature ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) detector for unprecedented system sensitivity, selectivity, and depth of target list.
