Follow us on Twitter @inscentinel Inscentinel, or more famously known as the SnifferBees company, is a British startup with huge ambition to use honeybees to detect explosives and drugs. Working closely with the UK Homeoffice, it has developed a prototype detector, Vasor136, with a sensitivity that beats even the most advanced Ion Mobility Spectrometer. Housing 36 SnifferBees inside the Vasor136, it has the benefit of the high sensitivity of a sniffer dog and the operational convenience of a machine. A SnifferBee training round is only 6 seconds compared to 6 months for a sniffer dog; this ability to train thousands of SnifferBees a day makes it a sustainable and cost effective solution. Inscentinel’s Bee Sensor System Concept is a practical system to deploy sniffer bees for use in airport security, cargo screening as well as borders and customs, to serve areas of security where high accuracy and high throughput are of paramount importance. The company is now seeking the partnership of security firms to take forward the technology into the commercial realm.
