Gas Analysis On a Chip
Fast, Tiny & Affordable IoT Sensors

FastSense vs. incumbent H₂ sensors — response
Five sensors exposed simultaneously to the same gas stream.
Each was driven with the absolute minimum steps required to produce a signal — an apples-to-apples
first-pass comparison. Press Play to watch the response build up over the
25 → 500 → 1500 ppm H₂ sequence.

Why this matters.
Only one sensor (orange, thermal-conductivity) ships with a calibrated digital output. Every other sensor
here is being read in its raw electrical form — exactly how an integrator first encounters them.
Watch FastSense (deep blue) climb in clean, monotonic steps with sub-mAU noise, while the MOS hash,
electrochemical drift / transient, and the thermal-conductivity sensor's coarse quantisation all become
visible once 1500 ppm H₂ is introduced at t ≈ 26 h.
// Technology Index
The chemiresistor-based sensors are semiconductor-based decorated with engineered nano-catalyst, absorbing the target gas. The sensor is currently ATEX approved for Class I, Zone 1 to ensure the highly sensitive material is explosive-proof for detection of Hydrogen in flammable gases, such as methane and natural gas.
- Know what's in your gas through a data stream of accurate gas mixture readings, including emission, concentration, compound and potential caloric value.
- Fast Sense uses much less power than other industry sensors.
- Fast Sense sensors detect the full range of Hydrogen in flammable gases quickly.
- Sensors have a fail-safe and built-in log diagnostic — if the sensor becomes inoperable, alerting the owner.
- On the fly automated environmental recognition.
- Fundamentals-based energy analysis.
- The sensors have a guaranteed life expectancy of up to five years.
FAST SENSE (MCRS™) TECHNOLOGY RADAR
Fast Sense outperforms across key performance dimensions
Note: Higher values are better for all metrics except Cross-Sensitivity, Power Consumption, Size and Total Cost of Ownership. These are inverted so that higher values always represent better performance.
