Micromem Technologies Inc. Announces Manufacturing of Nanoparticle Detection Platform
April 21 2014 - 1:57PM
Micromem Technologies Inc. (the "Company") (CSE:MRM) (OTCBB:MMTIF)
through its wholly owned subsidiary Micromem Applied Sensor
Technologies Inc. (MAST), announces manufacturing has begun for
client orders of our nanoparticle detection platform (the
"Detector").
This patented Detector (as shown below) developed by MAST,
includes a magnetic nano-sieve mechanism designed to capture, from
a flowing stream of oil, gas or other fluids, 20 nanometer magnetic
nanoparticles on a target that is illuminated by a laser. Using
patented resonance wave technology the concentration of the
particles is measured to a repeatable accuracy of better than 1
part per billion. MAST has functionalized chemically the surfaces
of the magnetic nanoparticles so as to respond to specific
wavelengths of the laser and our technology is unaffected by the
opaque nature of oil and gas streams.

The Detector was originally contracted by and designed for the
International Oil Company for use in water flood oil well
production. It has also gained traction in interwell tracer studies
and most recently in environmental applications of tracking
carcinogenic chemicals in groundwater. The Company maintains
Intellectual Property (IP) control of the Detector.
The present system is designed for two modes in a lab
environment. One, a cuvette mode where a small sample from a core
flood analyzer effluent stream and the like can be rapidly
evaluated for presence of nanoparticles, and; the other, a powerful
method of operation that allows for a flow through mechanism from
larger field samples. This product was designed for clients that
are investigating the growing use of nanoparticles to help solve
critical process and environmental problems. Also, MAST is
expanding the functionality of this product by converting it for
hazardous environments including direct measurement in real time on
producing oil well sample lines.
