Digitizing Unknown Liquids – A Game Changer for Chemical, Food, and Medical Laboratories
At HFS, we are committed to developing affordable material and liquid characterization tools for chemical, food, environmental, and medical laboratories. Our platform is based on a cavity resonator — a well-established technique in the microwave engineering community. While cavity resonators are familiar tools in RF and microwave research, applying them to chemical, biological, and food laboratories opens up exciting new possibilities. What is conventional in microwave engineering can be transformative in other scientific fields.
Importantly, 3D printing technology and low cost measurement equipment make this innovation flexible and scalable. Additive manufacturing enables rapid prototyping of customized resonator structures, reduces fabrication costs, and allows seamless integration with standard lab equipment such as centrifuge tubes, test tubes, and common laboratory glassware.
Our technology enables researchers to:
• Measure concentration levels
• Monitor chemical reactions in real time
• Assess food quality
• Track cell growth in culture wells
The system is easy to use and highly adaptable across a wide range of applications. This publication is the result of collaborative research supported by a PhD scholarship from NSTDA and KMUTNB.
