About this award
This federal contract was awarded by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command to 2W Itech LLC, a small business based in San Diego, CA. The contract is for the research and development of a field-transportable sensing technology to detect trace amounts of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in groundwater down to 10 parts per trillion (ppt). The technology utilizes a polymeric sensor chip that can measure fluorocarbon concentrations in water through optical signals, without requiring complex instrumentation. The $150,000 firm-fixed-price contract is for a STTR Phase I project, with the goal of demonstrating the feasibility of the approach through a reproducible calibration curve for PFOA and PFOS concentrations from 0 to 100 ppt.
Description
The goal of this program is to develop a field transportable sensing technology for detecting trace amounts of pfoa and pfos in groundwater down to 10 PPT. This unique molecular imprinting based analytical technique, which does not require any complicated instrumentation, will utilize a tiny polymeric chip to measure the concentration of fluorocarbons in aqueous solution. In phase i, 2W itech will develop a photonic crystal polymer sensor chip that exclusively binds pfoa and pfos molecules inside its matrix and produces specific optical signals that can be construed using a UV-VIS spectrometer and correlated to the concentration of pfoa and pfos in water. The proposed sensor can be easily integrated with autonomous sample collection and data processing technologies, and will offer the following advanced attributes: high sensitivity, high specificity, fast detection, ease of operation, low power consumption, zero chemical release, and low operation cost. The feasibility of the proposed approach will be demonstrated through a reproducible calibration curve for a range of concentrations from 0 to 100 PPT of pfoa and pfos in water.
