Chemical detector offers programmable
filter
Lonestar can be trained to respond to a broad range of chemical scenarios and is easily integrated with other sensors and third-party systems to provide a complete monitoring solution.
Using Owlstone's FAIMS technology, the Lonestar chemical detection system has the flexibility to provide both rapid alerts and detailed sample analysis Lonestar can be trained to respond to a broad range of chemical scenarios and is easily integrated with other sensors and third-party systems to provide a complete monitoring solution
This makes Lonestar suitable a wide variety of applications ranging from online process monitoring to laboratory based R and D.
The FAIMS sensor acts as a reprogrammable filter, separating and identifying chemicals according to their characteristic mobility.
The sensor "filters out" the background chemicals that do not conform to the mobility signature of the user-defined target chemical.
Owlstone's miniaturised FAIMS (field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometer) device is manufactured from silicon using conventional MEMs fabrication techniques.
