Paragraf launches GFET Discovery Kit to simplify graphene biosensor research

-

UK-based graphene electronics company Paragraf has introduced the GFET Discovery Kit, a package developed to make graphene-based molecular sensing more accessible to the research community. The announcement was made at the I2DM2025 Summit held at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi.

The kit is intended for researchers investigating graphene field effect transistors in biosensing applications, particularly those who may not have a strong background in electronics. It provides an integrated, ready-to-use platform that removes the usual challenges associated with selecting and configuring hardware.

The GFET Discovery Kit is now available through Paragraf’s online store. It combines the company’s GFET-PV01 devices with a PalmSens EmStat Pico MUX16 data acquisition system and includes pre-configured accessories. Each kit contains four GFET-PV01 sensors, a PiG breakout board, a wiring harness, a mounting plate, a screw kit, and a quick-start guide.


Simon Thomas, CEO of Paragraf, said, “Many researchers in life sciences and materials science want to explore the unique properties of GFETs, but don’t have the electronics background to connect and configure the hardware. We created the Discovery Kit to make graphene molecular sensing accessible. Plug it in, follow the setup instructions in the online user manual and you can begin generating meaningful data almost immediately.”

After assembly, researchers can connect the PalmSens device to a computer and conduct molecular sensing experiments suited to their specific needs. Paragraf also offers downloadable application notes to support particular experimental workflows.


Commenting on the collaboration, Ardy van den Berg, Business Developer at PalmSens, said, “Paragraf’s GFET is precisely the sort of innovative sensor technology the EmStat Pico was designed to enable. We look forward to researchers taking advantage of these tools to expand our collective biosensing knowledge and capabilities.”

Paragraf is recognised as a developer and manufacturer of graphene-based electronic devices, using proprietary methods to produce contamination-free technology for critical applications.

Envalior launches new PPS compounding facility in Uerdingen, Germany. New facility supports growing demand for Xytron™ in Europe and the Americas. To better serve growing customer demand in Europe and the Americas, Envalior – a global leader in sustainable and high-performance engineering materials – announces that it will invest in a PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) compounding facility in Europe. Envalior’s PPS material Xytron™ combines a strong set of properties, including excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance at elevated temperatures, extremely stable heat aging performance up to 240°C, very good and stable electrical properties at elevated temperatures, low moisture absorption with high dimensional stability, and inherent flame retardance that meets UL94 V0.  Since 2016, when Xytron™ entered the market, the PPS material has built a strong track record across OEMs and tier customers. The new facility will provide local supply and additional services to customers in Europe whi...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...
