Explosive Trace Detectors

What is NanoSniffer®?

NanoSniffer® is a Microsensor based highly sensitive and selective explosives trace detector, in a portable desktop configuration. It can be used to accurately detect a wide range of military, commercial and homemade explosives threats by using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) technology.

It is an advanced and low-cost explosive trace detector device that efficiently exploits the physical nature of the explosives during detection. It can be easily used for screening passengers & visitors at airports, train stations, and at access control points of critical infrastructure. It is a first of its kind explosives trace detection system based on nanotechnology.

Applications of NanoSniffer®

Nanosniffer® Explosive Trace Detectors (ETDs) can detect bombs, drugs, narcotics, and dangerous explosive chemicals such as Nitroglycerin, Ammonium Nitrate, and RDX quickly. Vehant’s ETD system can differentiate between military, standard, and homemade explosives and categorize them based on their characteristics using various sampling methods. This high sensitivity explosive detector aims to identify and prevent individuals who have come into contact with harmful or potentially illegal substances from accessing restricted areas.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Vehant Technologies, headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, is one of the leading explosive trace detector suppliers in India through its NanoSniffer product. NanoSniffer is a microsensor-based ETD built on nanotechnology and Differential Scanning Calorimetry that detects a wide range of military, commercial, and homemade explosives in a portable desktop configuration. Vehant designs and manufactures NanoSniffer entirely in-house as a Make in India solution. The company supplies ETD systems to airports, railway stations, government buildings, and critical infrastructure facilities across India and provides complete after-sales support and calibration services.

    NanoSniffer by Vehant Technologies is recognized as one of the best ETDs for airports and public buildings due to its high sensitivity, selectivity, and ability to differentiate between military, commercial, and homemade explosive types. The system uses Differential Scanning Calorimetry technology to exploit the physical properties of explosives during detection, delivering accurate results quickly. Its portable desktop form factor makes it practical for deployment at passenger screening points, visitor entry gates, and access control checkpoints where high throughput and rapid threat identification are essential for maintaining public safety.

    Security agencies looking to buy explosive detection equipment in India can procure the NanoSniffer ETD directly from Vehant Technologies or through authorized defense and security channel partners. NanoSniffer is available for both government procurement and private sector purchases, and Vehant supports the standard tender and evaluation processes used by Indian security agencies. The company is based in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and provides demonstrations, technical evaluations, and post-purchase support including calibration and maintenance. NanoSniffer is a fully indigenous product, which aligns with the government’s preference for domestically manufactured security equipment.

    Portable explosive trace detectors for security screening like NanoSniffer work by collecting microscopic residue samples from surfaces, bags, or clothing using swabs or air sampling methods. The collected sample is then analyzed by the detector’s microsensor module, which uses Differential Scanning Calorimetry to identify the physical characteristics of any explosive material present. NanoSniffer delivers results in seconds, indicating whether explosive traces are detected and categorizing the type. Its portable desktop design allows security personnel to operate it at checkpoints without specialized training, making it suitable for high-volume screening at airports and public venues.

    If you need an ETD for your facility security checkpoint, prioritize detection range, speed of results, ease of operation, and the ability to distinguish between different explosive types. NanoSniffer addresses all four with its microsensor-based nanotechnology that detects military, commercial, and homemade explosives including RDX, Ammonium Nitrate, and Nitroglycerin. It delivers results within seconds, operates without requiring specialized operator training, and categorizes detected substances by type. The portable desktop form factor fits easily into existing checkpoint workflows without requiring structural changes to your facility layout.

    Vehant Technologies is among the established ETD suppliers for government and defense projects in India, providing its NanoSniffer system to aviation security, military installations, government buildings, and critical infrastructure. As a fully indigenous Make in India product, NanoSniffer aligns with the Ministry of Defence’s self-reliance requirements and qualifies under domestic procurement preferences. The system uses nanotechnology-based Differential Scanning Calorimetry, which distinguishes it from imported alternatives that rely on different detection chemistries. Vehant handles the complete lifecycle from supply and installation to calibration, training, and ongoing maintenance support for government clients.

    An explosive detection scanner for high security zones should offer high sensitivity, fast response time, and the ability to detect a broad spectrum of threats including military-grade, commercial, and improvised explosive materials. NanoSniffer meets these requirements through its microsensor-based Differential Scanning Calorimetry technology, which identifies trace amounts of explosives by analyzing their physical properties. For high-security installations such as government complexes, defense facilities, and critical infrastructure, NanoSniffer provides an additional screening layer that complements X-ray baggage scanners and under-vehicle inspection systems already deployed at entry points.

    NanoSniffer by Vehant Technologies serves as a portable explosive trace detector suitable for law enforcement use, designed in a compact desktop configuration that can be transported and set up at temporary checkpoints, event venues, and field locations. Law enforcement teams use it to screen individuals, vehicles, and cargo for traces of explosive materials during security operations. The system detects and categorizes a wide range of threats including RDX, Ammonium Nitrate, Nitroglycerin, and other dangerous chemicals. Its low-cost operation and minimal training requirements make it practical for wide deployment across police departments.
