SALVUS DETECTION SOLUTIONS
Detect what matters.
In the field. In the lab.
On your terms.
Rapid, reliable results in the field or from the lab – built for use cases that can’t afford to wait on centralized lab cycles.
Field-deployable rapid PFAS screening
Our three-step process of feasibility study, field pilot using our Salvus® PFAS solution, and deployment through platform purchase, lease, or full-service on-site support.
Lab testing services
Lab testing validated to your requirements. Capabilities include but are not limited to EPA Methods 537.1 and 1633, LC-MS/MS, and more. With the option to run samples on our Salvus PRISM™ for direct comparisons.
Create custom solutions
Let us help you detect your concerns. Whether you need a cartridge for a specific analyte, the Salvus detection core in a new form factor, or label-free platform access for detection research – we want to hear what you’re working on.
DEPLOYABLE PFAS FIELD TESTING
A structured path: feasibility → pilot → full-scale deployment
We work with interested customers through three stages designed to build confidence in the technology and fit it to your specific site and operational needs before any long-term commitment. For those parties ready to integrate the platform into their operations, our Salvus PFAS solution is available for full-scale deployment.
1
Feasibility study
- Where we start
We start with a call to discuss your use case. If it aligns with our technology, you send us field samples from your site. We run them on the Salvus PRISM and provide results alongside LC-MS/MS confirmation for direct comparisons. This establishes that the platform can perform on your real-world samples before you commit to anything further.
2
Field pilot
- Accepting now
Our team comes to your active site with our deployable PFAS field testing solution. We run the PFAS testing workflow in the field alongside your team – demonstrating real-world performance, walking through the sample-to-result process, and validating fit for your operational environment.
3
Full-scale deployment
- Flexible options
After a successful pilot, deployment can take several forms: platform purchase, lease, or other arrangements depending on your needs. If you prefer not to operate the platform yourselves, we also offer ongoing field service - our team goes to your site to run testing as a managed service.
LAB TESTING SERVICES
Validated to your requirements
Order non-certified analytical testing validated to the requirements of EPA methods 537.1 and 1633. Suitable for researchers, industrial users, and project teams that need data for internal decision-making and pre-certification screening – not regulatory-reportable results. Option to run samples on the Salvus PRISM for direct comparisons. 10-business-day turnaround standard; 48-hour rush available.
COMING SOON: TOP assay to help identify PFAS precursors that could become more persistent compounds.
Curious if rapid in-field PFAS screening could work at your site? When you place your lab testing order, you can opt-in to also test your sample on the Salvus PRISM and receive results to compare with the LC-MS/MS results. This can help you assess if our in-field Salvus PFAS solution would be a fit for your operation. Learn more about screening at the point of concern. See Deployable Field Testing →
SALVUS DETECTION PLATFORM
One platform. Multiple uses.
The Salvus Detection Platform follows a cartridge-based model. You acquire the technology once – then expand what you can detect simply by swapping cartridges. Each cartridge is pre-configured for a specific target analyte and slots into the same platform. And the technology can be deployed through multiple form factors to address your specific detection use case.
CURRENT USE CASE
Salvus PFAS Solution
Designed for detection in the field using the Salvus APEX™ + Salvus FLOW™ + Salvus PRISM.
- Portable Form Factor
- Automated
- Field-Deployable
THE DETECTOR – ACQUIRED ONCE
Salvus PRISM
The Portable Real-time Interferometric Sensing Module (PRISM) is your long-term instrument. It doesn’t change when you add new detection capabilities – the cartridge does. One capital investment, expanding detection power over time.
- Touchscreen Display
- Universal Cartridge Slot
- Field-Deployable
- Adaptable to Multiple Form Factors
CARTRIDGES – SWAPPABLE, GROWING LIBRARY
Detection Cartridges
Each cartridge contains the receptor chemistry configured for a specific detection target. Swap cartridges to switch what you’re detecting. New cartridges can be developed for your specific target – custom or standard.
- Total PFAS (C6+)
- PAA
- Ammonia
- Custom by Development
DETECTION SOLUTIONS
What we detect today — and tomorrow
Each solution is a cartridge configuration built for the Salvus Detection Platform.
- Full-Scale Deployment
Total PFAS
Screening for C6 and longer PFAS at the point of concern. We are currently working with interested parties through a structured engagement — from feasibility study to field deployment.
- Seeking Partners
PAA, Ammonia, Dicamba, Other
Peracetic acid and ammonia detection for food processing, water treatment, and industrial safety. Dicamba detection for the agricultural sector. Ask us about the rest of our analyte library. Contact us if you have interest or a use case.
- Open to Partners
Custom Detection
New cartridge or new form factor — we develop for your specific detection need. Tell us what you're trying to detect.
Detecting shorter-chain PFAS (C5 or C4)?
Our first-to-market solution targets C6 and longer PFAS. Shorter-chain detection is actively in development. If your work requires C5 or C4, we'd like to hear from you - your input shapes what we build next.
Built with multiplexing in mind
Multi-analyte detection is on the roadmap
The Salvus platform's waveguide architecture is designed to support multiplexed detection — screening for more than one analyte from a single sample run. If simultaneous multi-analyte detection is relevant to your work, we'd like to hear from you. Share your multiplexing needs →
Detection capabilities at a glance
Need a cartridge for something else?
We develop new cartridges for partners and customers. If you have a detection target in mind, we want to hear from you.
