Visual Stoichiometry Breaking in Linear Response Chemical Test Strips

In this phase I SBIR contract novel methods will be developed to enhance the perception by the human eye of signal change in color change test strips that detect chemicals, contaminants, and hazardous materials. Modern concepts of human vision and digital imaging will be combined to create readout images on the test strips so that the user obtains sharp and unambiguous signals from exposed strips. Demonstrations of this technology will be made on different color change test strips that are of importance to first responder community and military personnel exposed to chemical warfare agents and other hazardous materials.
