04Measure what is present

Analysis

The things we most want to find in the environment are the things present in the smallest amounts. Intaglio captures and concentrates trace targets, so a faint signal becomes a confident measurement.

The work

01

The trace problem

Pesticides, hormones, dyes, and drug residues can matter at vanishingly low levels. At those concentrations, the target hides under everything else in a real-world sample.

02

Catch, then concentrate

A shape-matched pocket selectively pulls the target out of water, soil, or air and holds it — so you can gather it up from a large sample and release it concentrated, ready to measure.

03

Green by design

Selective capture means less solvent and less sample handling. It's the same thinking behind modern green extraction: get the answer with the smallest footprint you can.
