JITO Angel Network invested an undisclosed sum in the investment round. NanoSniff had in the past raised 2 mn USD in Equity, loans and grants from One crowd and other marquee investors and Government of India.
NanoSniffer, the world’s first microsensor-based explosive trace detector (ETD), developed by NanoSniff Technologies, an IIT-Bombay incubated startup, can detect variety of explosives like TNT, Ammonium Nitrate and RDX in less than 10 seconds.
Costing just one-third of the price of imported ETDs, the 100 percent indigenously-made NanoSniffer can also identify and classify explosives into different classes of military, conventional and homemade explosives.
Once it provides trace detection of explosives weighing in nanograms (one nanogram is equal to one-millionth of a milligram), the NanoSniffer alerts security personnel with a sunlight-readable colour display attached to the device giving out visible and audible alerts.
Given the nature of threats that high-security installations like airports, railway stations, metro stations, hotels, shopping complexes, malls or places of worship face, it’s imperative that they are equipped with quality explosive detection capabilities. Launched earlier this month, the NanoSniff is looking to address its security requirements.
