SensorHut Ltd - Proof of market for a new chemical sensor technology

到2018年，全球化学传感器市场预计将达到264亿美元，这主要是由持续的技术发展、产品创新和不断扩大的应用领域所推动的。在SensorHut，我们正在开发一种新的气体传感方法，该方法基于纳米结构的光学元件，该元件吸附化学物质，从而可以通过光学分析来确定其化学成分。它的优点是灵敏度高、体积小、成本低.这项技术可以应用于大量的工业和气体，因此我们需要将最初的重点缩小到一些最需要这种传感原理的关键优势的高价值市场。这是一项平台技术，通过TSB市场资金证明，我们正在识别最需要我们传感原理的关键优势的高价值市场。这些市场将是我们设备开发和销售的最初重点。

The global market for chemical sensors is projected to reach US$26.4 billion by 2018,primarily driven by continuous technology developments, product innovations and expandingapplication areas.At SensorHut we are developing a new gas sensing approach based on a nano-structuredoptical element that adsorbs chemical substances so that they can be optically analysed todetermine their chemical composition. The advantages are higher sensitivity andminiaturization and lower cost than conventional instruments based on absorptionspectroscopy. This technology can be applied to a large number of industries and gases, andtherefore we need to narrow down initial focus to some high value markets where the keyadvantages of this sensing principle are most needed.This is a platform technology and with TSB Proof of Market Funding we are identifying highvalue markets, where the key advantages of our sensing principle are most needed. Thesemarkets will be our initial focus for device development and sales.
