Investigating the market for a low-cost handheld gas chromatography system
Contact: Dr. Sohab Sarfraz & Dr. Vasant Kumar, Materials Science & Metallurgy The research team has developed a new low cost micro thermal conductivity sensor that provides significant advantages compared with existing detectors. It provides means to develop highly miniaturized gas chromatography system which give fewer false readings compared to other systems. The team is…
