ABOUT NANOSENSE

Sensing the Invisible. Delivering Safety. Safeguarding Lives.

NanoSense Limited is a UK-based deep-technology company developing patented nano-optical sensing technology for the real-time detection of selected molecular compounds.

Our technology is being developed for applications where rapid molecular information is needed outside the conventional laboratory environment.

From aircraft cabins and hazardous environments to environmental monitoring and breath analysis, NanoSense is working to move molecular sensing closer to the point at which information is needed and decisions are made.

One Technology. Multiple Applications.

NanoSense develops and owns the core sensing technology and associated intellectual property.

 

The platform combines specially engineered sensing surfaces with optical analysis and signal interpretation to detect selected volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs).

 

Rather than developing a completely different sensing architecture for each market, NanoSense is developing a configurable platform that can be adapted around specific molecular targets and application requirements.

AT THE POINT OF NEED

From Science to application.

NanoSense’s technology has been developed over a number of years through scientific research, engineering, prototype development and independent technical evaluation.

Our collaborators bring specialist domain knowledge, operating environments, validation capability, integration expertise and routes to market.

The Group’s activities include sensing-surface development, sensor engineering, optical and signal-analysis development, prototype testing, intellectual-property management and application-specific development programmes.

Independent technical work has also formed an important part of the development process.
APPLICATIONS

Five high-value missions.

NanoSense technology is being developed across applications where rapid molecular information is needed closer to the point of decision.

BreathInsight — Healthcare

Non-invasive breath analysis being developed to provide molecular information in real time, at the point of test.

CabinSense — Aviation

Molecular sensing for aircraft cabin-air monitoring and contamination investigation.

ViruSense — Public Health Research

A research and collaboration programme exploring future biological and public-health sensing applications.

ChemSense — Defence & Security

Compact sensing designed to take chemical intelligence closer to hazardous or inaccessible environments, including potential drone-mounted applications.

EnviroSense — Environmental & Industrial

Distributed molecular sensing for environmental, industrial and infrastructure monitoring.

Leadership & Experience.

NanoSense brings together expertise in science, engineering, product development, aviation and security, healthcare, finance and international commercialisation.
The team combines the scientific heritage behind the sensing platform with the operational and commercial experience required to translate technology into application-specific solutions.
THE NEXT APPLICATION

Where could you take NanoSense?

We’re looking for organisations with the expertise, environments and ambition to help turn NanoSense technology into mission-specific sensing solutions.
