In GISCOPS, we will develop a pioneering approach to merge two distinctly different technologies developed in Finland for chemical separation and detection of molecules to improve analysis capabilities for chemical threats. Combination of Gas Ion Distillation (GID) and Cantilever Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (CEPAS) will provide sensitive and selective gas analysis in realistic environments. GID, a paradigm shift in chemical separation and recently patented concept by project partners, is a novel methodology where vapor constituents are separated based on their chemical properties. GIDEOPTICS concept will surpass current analytical limitations and offer improvements in chemical threat detection leading to scientific improvements contributing to safety and security, biomedicine, and environmental sciences. GISCOPS will be carried out in collaboration with VERIFIN and optical spectroscopy experts at the University of Helsinki.
