Powerful Detection Tool
The zNoseŽ is the first electronic nose designed for a wide variety of industry applications and can detect odors and chemical vapors produced by explosives, chemical and biological weapons. Using ultra-high speed gas chromatography, the zNoseŽ is a powerful tool for identifying contraband of all kinds, hazardous industrial materials, improvised explosives, and flammable materials. Anything outside standard voc regulations is easily detected by the zNose.

How Does Gas Chromatography Work?
Why use an EST gas chromatographer? Because it is an ultra high speed gas chromatography that employs a trap and helium carrier gas to separate chemicals in near real time so that pattern recognition and trace detection can be performed in seconds. Unlike trace detectors which only detect a few select compounds, electronic noses recognize odors and fragrances based upon their full chemical signature.

The zNose uses gas chromatography calculations in a powerful manner for a variety of security applications, and can adaptively learn to recognize and alert on any target odor. Some applications include:

  • Homeland Security
    Detects odors and chemical vapors produced by explosives, chemical and biological weapons
  • Chemical
    Fast chemical analysis at up to parts-per-trillion sensitivity
  • Environmental
    Control the level of harmful emissions into the atmosphere with real-time analysis
  • Life Science
    Research labs worldwide rely on EST's technology for analysis and detection
  • Food & Beverage
    Real-time qualitative and quantitative analysis in a portable format
