Xsense - Miniaturized Sensors for Explosives Detection in Air

In the future development of sensor based explosives detectors we find that the key challenges to address are reliability, selectivity, stability and cost. Our hypothesis is that only by combing several independent and sensitive measuring principles can the reliability be improved. We will do this by creating a strategic research network with significant pre-existing know-how and strong competences in: miniaturised sensors, synthetic chemistry, surface functionalisation, data processing and validation.
