Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BILLERICA, Mass., Sept. 13, 2007 -- Bruker Daltonics Inc., a maker of mass spectrometry and detection technology, announced it has been awarded a $1.3 million follow-on Phase III contract by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for its work on the ARFCAM (Autonomous Rapid Facility Chemical Agent Monitor) program. The Phase III program is expected to last about three years, during which Bruker will continue to develop and test its ARFCAM technology. ARFCAM Phase III is intended to lead to a fully automated and unattended chemical agent and toxic chemical detector for government facilities and critical infrastructure...Read full article

    mass spectrometry
    An instrumental technique that utilizes the mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles as recorded from a mass spectrometer in order to determine the mass of a particle as well as the chemical makeup, or elemental ionic composition of a given sample or molecule.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
