Innovation & Research
Advancing the frontier of gas detection technology
Interlink Electronics has a multi-decade history of gas sensing innovation — from printed electrochemical sensors developed under NSF SBIR grants to nanotechnology-based sensor platforms acquired through the Transducer Technology merger. These innovations drive the next generation of miniature, low-power, and application-specific gas detection instruments.
SPEC Printed Electrochemical Sensors
A new generation of toxic gas sensors integrating amperometric gas sensing with screen-printed electronics — miniature, microwatt-power, and matching conventional sensor performance.
Developed between 2012 and 2015 as the subject of an NSF SBIR grant, SPEC (Screen Printed Electrochemical) sensors represent a breakthrough in gas detection technology. By integrating amperometric gas sensing with printed electronics fabrication, these sensors can be manufactured in miniature sizes, require only microwatts of power, and match or surpass conventional amperometric sensor performance. The screen-printed manufacturing process enables flexible, near-paper-thin sensors at lower cost than traditional methods. SPEC sensors are designed for residential and industrial CO detection, wireless monitoring OEM systems, smartphone integration, personal health monitoring, medical breath analysis diagnostics, and IoT air quality networks.
Key Highlights
- Fabricated in miniature sizes using screen-printed electronics
- Microwatt power consumption
- Matches or surpasses conventional amperometric sensor performance
- Flexible, near-paper-thin form factor
- Lower manufacturing cost than traditional sensors
- NSF SBIR grant-funded development (2012–2015)
- Targets: residential CO, wireless OEM, smartphones, medical diagnostics, IoT
Portable Ozone Generator & Micro-Reactor Technology
Patented micro-ozone portable generator designed to decontaminate small quantities of water anywhere — advancing point-of-use water purification.
Interlink Electronics' patented micro-ozone generator technology represents a breakthrough in portable water purification. The micro-reactor design generates ozone on demand in a compact, portable form factor capable of decontaminating small quantities of water at the point of use. This technology has applications in emergency water treatment, field deployment for humanitarian operations, and consumer point-of-use water purification where traditional water treatment infrastructure is unavailable.
Key Highlights
- Patented micro-ozone generation technology
- Portable point-of-use water decontamination
- Compact micro-reactor design
- Emergency and humanitarian water treatment applications
- Consumer point-of-use purification potential
