SRD develops intelligent micro sensor arrays for trace gas detection in multiple applications, including chemical warfare agents detection and pollution monitoring. Our detection systems provide accurate, sensitve, and repeatable detection of toxic industrial chemicals, chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, and common bacteria.
SRD's unique strength is the ability to integrate multiple detection technologies with advanced signal processing algorithms to improve both selectivity and sensitivity. Our multidiscipline research staff combines cutting-edge knowledge of gas detection with materials science, signal processing, and artificial intelligence to optimize all aspects of sensor design and gas detection. SRD has developed (and continues to develop) proprietary methods for catalyst and material preparation, which make our detection systems more selective and sensitive than any single technology.

SRD was invited to present at the DHS/HSARPA hosted conference Chemical and Biological Countermeasure Technologies for Homeland Security in Boulder, CO. SRD’s Director of Technology Development, Brent Marquis, updated DHS on new developments in chemical detection, including the most recent test results of our Lightweight Autonomous Chemical Identification System (LACIS). SRD’s LACIS detectors are based on an array of chemically selective SMO and P-SAW microsensors. The use of two separate detection technologies reduced the false alarm rate to less than 1% for nearly all industrial chemicals.
