Pranalytica, Inc. started operations in February 2000 and has developed revolutionary ultra-sensitive trace gas detection instrumentation that enables monitoring of:

•  Airborne ammonia, SO₂, HF and HCl contamination in semiconductor cleanrooms,

•  Ambient ammonia and SF₆ for environmental and agricultural applications,

•  Ambient 1,3-butadiene, dimethyl formamide and acrolein detection in chemical and plastic industries,

•  Chemical weapons agents (CWAs) detection for homeland security and national security applications

•  Explosive detection for homeland security and national security applications

•  Airborne ammonia measurement at agricultural contamination sources

•  A variety of vital human physiological functions for non-invasive, real-time and cost-effective diagnosis.

The company's flagship product, the Nitrolux™, is available for ambient applications in three standard configurations: 100, 200, or 1000 ppt sensitivity. The Nitrolux™ has been deployed in semiconductor clean rooms to detect ambient ammonia concentrations that can detrimentally affect wafer yields, and in remote locations for environmental monitoring of atmospheric background levels from agricultural operations.

A medical version, the Nephrolux™ breath ammonia sensor, is capable of continuously and affordably measuring ammonia concentration in clinical environments at parts-per-billion (ppb) levels to help the medical community effectively diagnose dysfunctions and administer improved patient care.
