Microsensor Systems

Microsensor Systems provides surface acoustic wave-based chemical sensing products.

Microsensor Systems, Inc. was a pioneer in the development of SAW sensor technology. In operation, SAW sensor technology relies on acoustic waves and chemical reactions with polymer coatings to help users identify trace amounts of hazardous agents. The technology is currently used in several Microsensor products designed for detecting low levels of nerve and blister agents, including GB (sarin), GD (soman), GA (tabun) and HD (mustard), as well as a variety of widely available industrial compounds. Microsensor systems are currently being deployed in the U.S. to help safeguard select major metropolitan mass transit systems.
