Defiant's Canary-One™ — Rapid Chemical Screening

Defiant is accepting purchase orders for Canary-One™. Contact us to have Canary-One™ tailored for your sensor network or application.

	The design incorporates a chemical preconcentrator and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) detector array. The chemical preconcentrator allows the detector to look for spikes in a specific time frame rather than a gradual change in the background. Nerve agents and blister agents can be identified every 20 seconds.

	Defiant's engineering prototype that was tested at Sandia National Lab under the lab's Small Business Technical Assistance Program or SBTAP. The gas module, next to the quarter, and the electronics board are all that are needed for UAV/UGV payloads and OEM applications.

	Defiant's Canary-One™ Canary-One™ uses ambient air and no specialty gases for operation. Canary-One™ has an analytical cycle time of twenty seconds and is capable of reporting calibrated analytes within the cycle. Shorter cycles can also be programmed. Canary-One™ will run continuously for 4 hours on a nickel metal hydride battery Canary-One™ can be used in handheld application or remotely. In remote applications (e.g. UAV, UGV, facility monitor) data is streamed through a serial port. The user can receive response data over time and/or chemical name and concentration via serial. Package dimensions are 7-1/2"L x 5-1/16"W x 2-1/8". Gas module can be used independently and is roughly the size of two nine volt batteries.

	This Data that was collected during SBTAP testing shows Canary-One sensing dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP) in the presence of a much higher concentration of diesel fumes.
