### New materials offer highly sensitive detection of toxic gases

Tocix gases are a health risk to humans in various industries, and reliable detection is necessary. 

In our case study we cover

- Detection of gases on the example of ammonia
- Challenges of commonly-used sensor materials
- Advantages of MOFs for gas sensors

MOFs show a significantly higher sensitivity and quick detection time compared to other sensor materials. Different working principles allow for a tailored solution.
