UK-based Paragraf has launched two new products expanding its graphene sensing portfolio: the PMF2002 Graphene Field-Effect Transistor (GFET) Platform and the Enterprise Reader data acquisition system, designed to work together to take users from sensor development through to data analysis.
The PMF2002 builds on Paragraf's earlier PMF2000 platform with a 12-channel multiplexing architecture that uses a common gate with separate source and drain connections, allowing simultaneous measurements across multiple sensing channels from a single sample while requiring less sample material. The sensing surface can be functionalized by customers, letting the platform be adapted for target-specific detection across applications including water quality monitoring, soil analysis, gas detection, and molecular biosensing.
The Enterprise Reader, launched alongside the PMF2002, is a new electronic readout and data acquisition system providing direct electronic measurements and real-time analysis, intended to shorten the path from concept development to usable results for researchers and diagnostic developers.
"The launch of PMF2002 and the Enterprise Reader demonstrates the pace at which Paragraf is turning graphene innovation into commercially available products," said Dr. Simon Thomas, CEO and co-founder of Paragraf. "Just three months after introducing the PMF2000, we are expanding our sensing portfolio with a fully integrated multiplexed platform that delivers more channels, more capability, and a simpler route to rapid assay development."
"This is exactly the kind of progress we envisioned when we invested in building the world's first graphene and 2D materials foundry in Huntingdon," Thomas added. "Our state-of-the-art manufacturing capability is now translating into a growing portfolio of market-ready products. PMF2002 and Enterprise are not technology demonstrators; they are commercially available tools that our customers can configure for whichever sensing challenge they are working on."
Paragraf's Huntingdon foundry, backed by more than $150 million in private investment, now spans five sites across three continents, as the company continues expanding its commercial graphene sensing product line for research, diagnostics, and environmental monitoring applications.
