Welcome to Matrix Sensors, Inc.

Matrix Sensors’ mission is to commercialize chemical and biological applications of a molecular detection technology based on CMUTs (Capacitative Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers). The CMUT technology has been developed jointly by Stanford University and the University of California, Los Angeles.

In short, this is a MEMS approach that utilizes wafer fabrication techniques with nanoscale feature size to produce microchips with an array of small, extremely sensitive mass detectors.  Each detector is made chemically or biologically sensitive by applying a chemical functionalization layer to the detector areas.  The readout is wholly electronic, amenable to miniaturization and requires no labeling or tagging of the analytes.

Matrix Sensors is headquartered in Pleasanton, California with R&D facilities at the California Nanosystems Institute at UCLA.
