In many human or animal occupied environments, the possibility exists for chemical contamination. To monitor and detect chemical contaminates, chemical sensors are placed in human occupied infrastructure or worn by individuals who may encounter chemical contaminated environments. Testing and calibration of the sensor occurs to verify accuracy of the sensors over time. Currently, calibration of most chemical sensors used in the field or industrial applications require a “bump” test. This involves passing calibration gas through the portion of the sensor system with detector elements. This is a slow, costly, man-power intensive process typically performed by a calibration technician daily for first responders and industrial hygiene professionals. Opportunity Description: MSTS possesses the intellectual property and know-how to develop a calibration gas source and automatic chemical sensor calibration system and is seeking partners in the development and commercialization effort of the system, associated electronics, and manufacturing. Partners are sought to collaborate via Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), commercial license agreement, or potential sale and assignment of IP rights. MSTS is available to collaborate with non-federal entities (NFEs) including Business, Industry and Non-Profits, Universities, and Government Agencies to leverage a broad spectrum of talent and capabilities. Interested parties should contact MSTS Technology Partnerships and Intellectual Property Office via email with the subject line: Calibration Gas Source and Automatic Chemical Sensor Calibration.
