Iridescent Sensors Inc. is commercializing a new class of chemical sensors called the optoelectronic nose. These are inexpensive, disposable colorimetric sensor arrays that are read by a handheld optical analyzer using machine learning algorithms. The technology aims to protect first responders and save lives by rapidly and accurately detecting toxic chemicals from spills and industrial fires, addressing limitations of current technologies which are often expensive, insensitive, slow, cumbersome, or not specific enough. The company was founded in late 2022 to commercialize patented sensor technology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It is a Delaware incorporated C-corp located in Champaign, Illinois.
