Technology Analysis

Chemical sensors primarily detect, identify and provide information about the chemical compositions in any form gas or liquid. The basic information is provided in the form of a measurable physical signal. There are two steps in which a chemical sensor performs. At first, the chemical sensor recognizes chemical properties in an element or environment and then it works as a transducer. The chemical components of a substrate are identified by using analytical methods primarily depends on detection limit or resolutions. With the rising extensive research and development activities, the usage of chemical sensors for different industries is growing rapidly.
