ION-GAS GmbH international profit private

ION-GAS GmbH is a German technology company founded in 2014, specialising in the development and application of Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) and Gas Chromatography–Ion Mobility Spectrometry (GC-IMS) for rapid chemical detection and analysis.

The company develops analytical instrumentation, sensor technologies and software solutions for applications including environmental monitoring, chemical hazard detection, breath analysis and industrial process monitoring.

ION-GAS combines expertise in IMS hardware development, analytical methods, complex gas-mixture analysis and data interpretation. Its portable GC-IMS systems enable the detection and identification of chemical compounds under challenging conditions, including humid and complex environments.

The company has relevant experience in first-responder applications, including the detection of toxic substances in clandestine drug laboratories and the remote detection of signs of life in search-and-rescue scenarios.

Within ACTIVE PCP, ION-GAS aims to develop miniaturised GC-IMS technology for integration into next-generation personal protective equipment (PPE), enabling rapid identification of previously unknown chemical hazards and real-time warnings to first responders.

ION-GAS is actively seeking European partners specialising in PPE development, CBRN protection, wearable technology and system integration to jointly develop an ergonomic, modular and interoperable solution for first-responder safety.
