AROMA-TRACER
Developed in partnership with Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies, AROMA-TRACER provides more sensitive results than standard laboratory GC/MS and LC/MS analytical approaches and eliminates costly sample preparation steps. This enables high-throughput, high-accuracy chemical tracer detection and data collection in a cost-effective and accessible way.
AROMA-TRACER provides automated analysis of oil-field produced fluid, detecting a range of partitioning and conservative chemical tracers. The platform is actively deployed in the field, providing safe, fast, and efficient operation.
