Entanglement to Receive EPA SBIR Award to Enhance Ethylene Oxide Detection
04th Nov 2021
November 4th, 2021 – Entanglement Technologies has been selected to receive a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enhance analytical capabilities to measure ethylene oxide (EtO) with AROMA-ETO. A thermal desorption, cavity ring-down spectroscopy analyzer capable of delivering single part-per-trillion detection limits of EtO and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in near-real time, AROMA-ETO is currently the most sensitive analyzer on the market for in-field assessments of EtO in ambient air. Entanglement will use the EPA SBIR award to drive key innovations to accelerate the measurement timescales for EtO, which ensures optimal spatial and temporal resolution for mobile and stationary monitoring. The deployment of current and future generations of AROMA-ETO provides policy-makers, industrial operators, and communities with critical information to reduce EtO-related health risks.
