Detect-ION | Mass Spectrometry Innovation

Cutting-Edge Technology

Real-Time, Real-World Impact

Infectious 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.

An earlier version of CLARION was successfully flight-tested on a C-130J Super Hercules, demonstrating near-real-time detection, identification, and quantification of methyl salicylate – a chemical warfare agent surrogate used in U.S. Air Force CBRN decontamination efforts. The sensor system withstood rough take-offs and landings, extreme pressure changes at 5,000 and 9,000 feet, and rapid depressurization when the hatches were opened.
