Nano-Proprietary, Inc. IntrodPces Carbon Monoxide Sensor

Austin, Texas-based Nano-Proprietary, Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Applied Nanotech, Inc. (ANI) has developed one of the first “Gated” metal oxide sensor for carbon monoxide (CO) detection and measurement. The gated approach allows the sensor to operate without heating, as compared with most Carbon Monoxide sensors, which require heating the sensor to greater than 250 degrees Celsius.

The sensor is specific to carbon monoxide with no cross sensitivity to other gases and elements and can operate in extreme environments ranging from negative sixty degrees Celsius to one hundred and sixty degrees Celsius. The sensor also operates at low power, is easily portable, highly sensitive, and has a fast response/recovery time with instant-on operation.

The features and low cost of this sensor will allow it to operate in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications such as monitoring home safety, vehicles, aircraft, and in office and industrial buildings.

“This represents a major break-through in sensor technology,” said Dr. Zvi Yaniv, President and CEO of ANI. “We are extremely pleased with this addition to our ever expanding sensor line of business.”
