NanoPlasmonic Sensing will change things for the better
NPS is an optical, versatile technology that detects hydrogen also in the absence of oxygen. Our sensors have palladium alloy nanostructure transducers. In the presence of hydrogen, the optical signature of the nanostructures changes, generating the sensor signal. The sensor signal is reversible and corresponds to the partial pressure of hydrogen in the sensor chip environment.
Specific
The NPS sensor is highly specific to hydrogen and detects H2 also in presence of other gases
Fast
Our sensor technology has the ability to detect hydrogen in less than a second
Optical
Intrinsically safe sensors can be made by placing the hardware and electronics outside the area where hydrogen may be present (only optical access is necessary)
Low oxygen environments
Able to measure in reduced oxygen environments
Flexible
can be adapted to different sensor needs and environments
