Sensors
The same features that make SAMMS™ an effective method for removing contaminants from drinking water and industrial process streams (high chemical selectivity, high sorption capacity, fast sorption kinetics, etc.) also make these materials ideally suited for selective preconcentration of specific analytes to enhance the sensitivity of analytical instrumentation and in situ sensors. Current research is actively exploring ways of optimizing how these functional nanomaterials can be used to enhance a variety of sensing/detection capabilities.
