Biodosimeter to Triage Exposure to Ionizing Radiation

In a nuclear or radiological incident, first responders must quickly measure the radiation exposure of a large number of individuals, since treatment options are radiation dose-dependent and time-sensitive. SRI is developing a biodosimeter to meet this critical challenge.

eXportable Combat Training Capability (XCTC)

Called “the best training we’ve ever received” by participating soldiers, instrumented combat-readiness exercises for members of the National Guard develop life-saving skills prior to deployment.
Micro-cylindrical ion trap arrays
High-Density Cylindrical Ion Trap Array Mass Spectrometer

SRI is developing small, highly sensitive arrays for pervasive monitoring of chemical and biological processes in the ocean and other environments.
