Cutting-Edge Technology
Real-Time, Real-World ImpactInfectious diseases—natural or weaponized—threaten public health, military readiness, and global stability. Traditional Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) offers gold-standard accuracy for detecting infections via volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in exhaled breath, sweat and other bodily fluids. Today’s process, however, is slow, expensive, and lab dependent. This means infectious diseases go undetected longer leading to wider community spread, delay diagnoses, higher healthcare costs, missed opportunities for prevention, limited frontline access, and increased national security risks.
At Detect-ION, we are redefining CBRNE detection, healthcare testing, and pathogen diagnostics with a first-of-its-kind technology that works across liquids, solids, and aerosols—all at the point of need. By leveraging micro-fabricated ion traps, breakthrough engineering and automation, our solutions seamlessly integrate sample collection, identification, and measurement in one ultra-compact system.

In 2021–2022, we supported the DHS Chemical-Biological Testing (CBT) program at New York City’s Grand Central Subway Station, deploying two units of ACHILLES—a predecessor to CLARION—to provide real-time chemical situational awareness. The CBT effort aimed to detect chemical and biological threats, validate air dispersion models, and strengthen emergency response protocols for airborne attacks in urban settings. We staggered operation of the units to create a continuous environmental profile of the subway system and participated in controlled release experiments to confirm detection results in relation to wind dynamics and airflow patterns.
