Variable Works with NASA to Rapidly Develop Covid-19 Detection Device

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Georgia Tech ECE alumnus George Yu's company Variable, Inc. was awarded a NASA subcontract to prototype a NASA COVID-19 detection device called the E-Nose in 2020. Variable successfully produced the electronics and packaging for it along with a paired mobile app for the agency to test its nanosensor array technology developed by NASA’s Ames Research Center for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in COVID-19 patient’s breath.

Variable is known around the world for their reliable and accurate color communication tools like the patented Color Muse® and Spectro 1 devices. The team has a specialized skill set in developing new sensor technology, building on a history of creating devices that could detect temperatures and complex gases among other components.
