Sensor Technology
CogniScent uses dye-polymer sensors and a proprietary sensor material to create an array that
combines sensitivity and selectivity that is inexpensive to manufacture in quantity. CogniScent
has two different sensor materials which it uses to develop sensors for its library
Sensing Polymers
Our base sensing material is an optically active polymeric material mixed with a fluorescent dye.
The material’s response to target vapor is determined empirically and tested for accuracy prior
to deposit onto our proprietary substrates.
Proprietary DNA-based Sensors
The sensor material is easily synthesized and can be manipulated for high-throughput and rapid
identification of new target compounds. CogniScent can engineer accurate sensors which may
not be available using traditional polymeric materials in a fraction of the time required for other
detection processes and at significantly reduced cost.
