About US
Emisense was formed with the mission of advancing clean air by developing sensors for direct measurement of criteria pollutants, especially low-cost and durable sensors for ultrafine particulate matter (Particulate Mass, PM, or Particulate Number, PN).
Emisense successfully demonstrated the potential of electrostatic PM sensing (ePM), and in 2014 successfully licensed the ePM/PMTrac® technology portfolio to Continental Automotive, based in Regensburg, Germany.
Due to adoption delays related to the VW diesel scandal and regulatory enforcement, Continental ceased development of the ePM sensor in 2017. Since then, Emisense has advanced the combined portfolio of IP and innovations.
With a renewed focus on clean air, a variety of next-generation sensing requirements are emerging, including on-board diagnostics (OBD) and monitoring (OBM) for hybrids, clean diesel, GDI; LEV-III, China-6b, and Euro-7; and other pending dynamics and regulations. We look forward to helping you with your application.
