Battelle and its Astrotech subsidiary partner will continue their collaboration in developing a portable mass spectrometer onto the second phase of the U.S. military’s three-phase Next Generation Chemical Detector program.
Astrotech said Tuesday Battelle and 1st Detect Corp. will move forward to testing and evaluation of the latter’s prototype Multi-Sample Identifier Detector.
“We are working in close collaboration with our key partner Battelle to validate and refine our joint detection solution,” said Astrotech CEOÂ Thomas Pickens III.
The Multi-Sample Identifier Detector technology will work to support the chemical detection and analysis market through applications in the healthcare, process flow, security, research and industrial sectors, Astrotech added.
