Naneum was founded in June 2005 in order to commercialise proprietary nanoparticle detection technology. Its main facilities are at the University of Kent in Canterbury where the company’s principle technologist, Dr Boris Gorbunov, is based. Through the significant competitive advantages of its detection products Naneum has ambitions to make available on a mass basis devices to allow the routine monitoring of air for size-resolved nanoparticles. The markets available are large and global, and Nanomet’s ambitions are correspondingly large. The directors of Naneum are Dr Boris Gorbunov, Dr Robert Muir and David Barclay. They are also the principle shareholders. Naneum has an exclusive licence arrangement with WRAS Technology Limited under which it markets the Naneum ‘WRAS’ range of instruments. These instruments compliment the Naneum products by capturing airborne nanoparticles on a size resolved basis, thus allowing the subsequent chemical analysis of the particulates in different size bands. The combination of Naneum ‘SAC’ and ‘WRAS’ range of instruments provide a comprehensively powerful set of tools to analyse air quality, analyse the associated risks and identify quickly and cost effectively the sources of risky contamination.
