Detection devices for the presence of molecules of interest (analytes) enjoyed a renewed burst with the introduction of biological components (biosensors). Their high specificity is often used in various fields, from environmental monitoring and biomedicine to the protection and promotion of agri-food products. However, the high cost of production and the lack of compatibility with mass sampling (high-throughput) sometimes limit their use.
Technologies
In this section it is possible to view, also through targeted research, the technologies inserted in the PROMO-TT Database. For further information on the technologies and to contact the CNR Research Teams who developed them, it is necessary to contact the Project Manager (see the references at the bottom of each record card).

The working principle of VTTJ is extremely simple. Two parts (at least one with tube shape) are screwed one into the other with a mechanical interference that creates a metallic seal. One part presents a cylindrical slot, the other presents a conical ring, whose diameter is slightly larger than the one of the cylindrical slot. When the two parts are screwed together, a plastic deformation occurs in the mechanical interference region.
