Description

Thorin is a radon detector that has been developed to measure the concentration of radon in human breath. Thorin is a polymerase chain reaction solution that contains a DNA-based optical sensor that reacts to the presence of radon, which causes an increase in fluorescence. The kinetic energy of the emitted light is analyzed using a camera and Thorin's detection sensitivity can be adjusted by adjusting the time delay between irradiation and measurement. Thorin has been shown to have high detection sensitivity when used with water vapor or fat cells as biological samples. It can also be used to detect radiation from sources such as x-rays, gamma rays, positrons, and beta particles.
