Spotlight: Collaboration Between TrueDyne Sensors AG and BAM
In close collaboration with the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und ‑prüfung (BAM), TrueDyne Sensors AG has had its MEMS-based gas sensors scientifically evaluated under realistic, standards-compliant conditions. The tests conducted at BAM are based on DIN standards and demonstrate the reliable measurement of gas concentration—including in hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide—across relevant temperature ranges. Furthermore, TrueDyne’s cantilever-based sensors demonstrate high suitability for quantifying hydrogen in (hydrogen-enriched) natural gases as well as for directly determining the calorific value. The results show good to very good agreement with reference measurements using GC analysis. Thus, the collaboration confirms not only the metrological performance of TrueDyne’s sensor technology but also its potential for use in safety-critical and future-oriented applications within the gas infrastructure.

Article: In-line measurements of the physical and thermodynamic properties of single and multicomponent liquids
Microfluidic devices are becoming increasingly important in various fields of pharmacy, flow chemistry and healthcare. In the embedded microchannel, the flow rates, the dynamic viscosity of the transported liquids and the fluid dynamic properties play an important role. Various functional auxiliary components of microfluidic devices such as flow restrictors, valves and flow meters need to be characterised with liquids used in several microfluidic applications.

Article: Multiparameter Gas-Monitoring System
The aim of the study is to develop a compact, robust and maintenance free gas concentration and humidity monitoring system for industrial use in the field of inert process gases. Our multiparameter gas-monitoring system prototype allows the simultaneous measurement of the fluid physical properties (density, viscosity) and water vapor content (at ppm level) under varying process conditions.
