Detectors and Biosensors
 
With years of experience in this field, IIBR's research, development and production of detectors and biosensors draw on proven capabilities and ongoing studies.

IIBR's activities include the chemistry of detectors (reagents, shelf life), air sampling, exposure experiments (sensitivity), mechanics/electronics of the devices and qualification experiments.
In progress
  • Development of micro- sensors for vapor and fluid pollutants based on solid state devices - piezoelectric crystals coated with sensitive layers
  • Development of pre-detector sorbant devices to enhance detector sensitivity for environmental contaminants
  • Development of chip based micro-fluidic devices in which the flow is electro-kinetically driven for the detection of contaminants
  • Development of diagnostic methods for hazardous materials by fluorescent and flow cytometry means
  • Team services
  • Assessment and calibration of detectors/monitors
  • Assembly and production of detection kits
  • Development of various detectors for environmental contaminants
  • Activities
  • Portable Explosives Testing Kit - ETKfive, distinguishing between several types of explosives (both military and improvised) . ETKfive has proven its effectiveness in widespread use by the Israel Police Forces, airline companies and numerous European police forces
  • Bullethole Testing Kit - BTK, determining whether holes were made by bullets
  • Highly sensitive personal Chemical Detection Kit - CDK, detecting nerve and blister agents with exceptional sensitivity
  • Hand- held Semi-automatic Chemical Agent Detector - SCAD, rapid detection of nerve and blister agents
  • Drug Detection Kit - DDK, a simple field detection kit for rapid and immediate illicit drug identification
