A -- HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON DETECTOR Sol. IPO-95-1054. Contact Christine Trigg, Industrial Partnership Office, MS C331, Los Alamos, NM 87545, TEL: (505) 665-6846, FAX: (505) 667-4098. The University of California which operates the Los National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking an industrial partner(s) to participate in the development and application of a new technology for the detection of halogenated hydrocarbons. Industrial partners are being sought to enter into a technology transfer agreement to commercialize this technology. This may include such methods as licensing, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA)s, Funds-in-Agreements, etc., but is not limited to them. Prospective partners must demonstrate a strong background in environmental field monitoring instrumentation, process monitoring instrumentation or air quality monitoring instrumentation. Interested parties must also demonstrate product marketing capability and sound financial backing for this partnership. using a novel reaction process in conjunction with commercially available technologies, the currently configured monitor is capable of measuring a wide variety of halogenated hydrocarbons including but not limited to carbon tetrachloride, fluorobenzene and bromoform. The monitor is capable of measuring these components in air in a real time or near real time manner. Furthermore, this detection technology does not rely on the input of any external compressed gases to support the detection process. Any company that is interested in pursuing this opportunity or that wishes to receive more information concerning this program should respond with a brief statement describing the company's technical expertise; manufacturing and marketing capability; financial resources; estimates of existing environmental instrumentation, process monitoring, or air quality monitoring market share;p previous technology transfer experience; and motivation for participation in the program. The statement of interest must be dated within 30 days from the date of this notice. (296)
