Army Researchers Receive Patent for Pocket-Sized Chemical and Biological Assessment Kit

The invention, known as the pocket detection pouch (PDP), was granted a patent on July 26, 2023 for its unique design that enables a one-way flow of a chemical or biological liquid sample that can be assessed and preserved in a lightweight, pocket-sized pouch.

The invention itself was deliberately designed to be “low-tech,” with the purpose to provide simple, immediate, and easily readable test results in the field while reducing the size, weight, and burden that traditional detection equipment imposes on the warfighter.
