TPU scientists equip chemical sensors with ‘traps’ to detect toxic substances

Description

Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University and the University of Chemistry and Technology (Prague, Czech Republic) have created novel chemical sensors for Raman spectrometers, i.e. the devices that allow determining quantitative and qualitative composition of substances and their structure with high accuracy. TPU scientists have equipped sensors with organic chemical compounds. They have already obtained sensors for determining dyes prohibited in Europe and heavy metals in water at ultralow concentrations.
