Nomadics, Inc. develops advanced sensors, instrumentation, and mobile technology products. ItŽs target markets include defense and security, medical, environmental, chemical analysis, and general industry. Using novel amplifying fluorescent polymers engineered by NomadicsŽ research partners at MIT, sensors are developed that are very sensitive and selective for chemical detection applications. First implemented to help solve the extremely difficult task of detecting trace vapors that emanate from landmines, the sensors form a technology platform capable of detecting part per quadrillion levels of explosives, herbicides, pesticides, chemical/biological agents, illicit drugs and other chemicals of interest.
