The Electronic Sensor Technology's flagship product - zNose has been developed with a number of key capabilities that differentiate it from the other products in the market.
Here is a white paper which will give you a brief knowledge about ESTInc's zNose and how it can be used as a solution for various problems and threats: http://www.estcal.com/blog/resource/electronic-nose-using-acoustic-technology/
This presentation provides a brief on unique features of zNose, how gas chromatography works and the current applications of zNose in Military and other terror monitoring activities.
The zNose® can provide a recognizable visual image of specific vapor mixtures (fragrances) containing possibly hundreds of different chemical species in less than 1 minute or near real time.
zNose is validated from U.S.E.P.A (Office of National Drug Control Policy) as well as the White House.
It is considered as mature and ready for deployment technology.
Some of the things zNose can be used for are as follows:
*Can operate within a wireless network using either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or RF modems.
*Provides a comprehensive analysis capabilites.
*It operates wirelessly and incorporates GPS information into its chemical analysis database.
This slide deck also gives a detailed description of the current applications for which ESTInc's zNose is being used for.

The flagship product of Electronic Sensor Technology, zNose, is the only mobile, small footprint analyzer in the market that can detect and analyze accurately organic, biological & chemical compounds in real time.
The technology is patented and employs a proprietary, Surface Acoustic Wave, also know as SAW sensor, and ultra fast Gas chromatography technology, to separate vapor samples according to their chemical and physical properties.
In short, we are here to present you, z Nose. the Electronic Sniffer.
zNose has its set of unique features and capabilities that we will be discussing in this video.
Let us start, with some unique features of E S T zNose.
Firstly, it recognizes odors and fragrances, based upon their full chemical signature.
Secondly, it detects all compounds within an odor, and provides a complete chemical profile.
Next, its software includes, an expandable library of over 700 chemicals, and odor signatures allowing the zNose to recognize virtually any target odor.
With E S T zNose, using ultra high speed chromatography, to separate chemicals within an odor in near real time, pattern recognition and trace detection using virtual chemical sensors can be performed at the same time.
Trace detection combined with odor profiling can be an effective method for recognizing the presence of contraband material of all kinds.
Finally, it also adapts and learns to recognize the chemical signature of virtually any threat.
The next thing that we are going to talk about, are the 3 simple steps of how does zNose work.
E S T zNose is based on Surface Acoustic Wave sensors, and Ultra-fast Chromatography, involving the following steps.
The first step is, Analysis.
E S T zNose Analyzes chemical vapors in less than 10 seconds, by separating vapors according to their chemical and physical properties.
The second step is, Creating Virtual Chemical Sensors.
E S T zNose creates hundreds of user defined, virtual chemical sensors, for multiple applications.
The final step is, Pattern Representation.
Vapor Print, the trademark software technology of Electronic Sensor Technology, provides users with visual representations of the vapor, allowing for easy interpretation and pattern recognition.
The capabilities of zNose have been trusted with hundreds of installations, and is employed in applications for Homeland Security, as well as for consumer products and the life sciences.
Here are some facts that further strengthens this trust.
More than 400 zNose systems, are being currently used worldwide.
zNose is listed as C O T S, that is commercial off the shelf, by the Government of United States.
It is protected by 4 patents in the United States.
E S T zNose has achieved a validation from United States, EPA, and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
It is also considered as, mature and ready for deployment technology.
With so many current implementations of zNose, here are 5 key applications of the technology.
The Military in Iraq, used it for the detection, and defeat of improvised explosives devices also known as IED.
The Military also used it at the Aboograb prison in Iraq.
Then, military also used it with chemical weapons at military facilities, such as Aberdeen, and Dugway Proving Ground.
Apart from the military applications, it is also used as screening sensor at embassies.
The sheriff and police departments, have also been using zNose as screening sensor.
In this last section, we will highlight 3 key capabilities of E S T zNose, that separate it from the lot.
Firstly, the Networking capability of the zNose.
It can operate within a wireless network using either wi fi, or bluetooth, or RF modems with ranges up to 1 mile.
Then, its Improvements in Situational Awareness.
zNose provides a comprehensive analysis capability, enabling monitoring of the complete chemistry of the environment.
And, finally, its integration capabilities into Geographic Information Systems also called GIS.
The zNose is well suited to GIS systems, because it operates wirelessly and because it incorporates GPS information into its chemical analysis database.
Electronic Sensor Technology, has developed and patented, a breakthrough electronic nose technology, trademarked zNose, which complements existing security systems, and eliminates the vulnerabilities associated with current trace, and x-ray detection systems.
