Micro Chemical Sensing Instruments

Principal Investigator Ian Hunter

Co-investigators Lynette Jones , Serge R LaFontaine , Nora Hogan


With modern scientific instruments, the ability to perform a full chemical analysis should be commonplace, but the size and cost of these devices limit access to only a few. This research effort seeks to miniaturize the major chemical analytical instruments, keeping the final cost low enough to make Micro Chemical Sensing Instruments affordable to all. The lab has developed a µMS, µGC, µRaman spectrometer, and µUV-Vis-IR spectrometer. Work is currently underway on a µNMR spectrometer
