Nanostart's ItN Nanovation receives European patent for CO2 sensor technology

Nanotechnology investor Nanostart's (ETR:NNS) portfolio company ItN Nanovation announced today it has received a European patent for its carbon dioxide sensor technology.

ItN, which develops ceramic filtration systems and coatings for industrial customers, said that the receipt of the patent is a step forward for the company in terms of developing CO2 sensors for the commercial market.

The European patent covers the company's nanostructured material and the CO2-sensitive sensor coatings it is used to produce. ItN's coating products are used in a number of ways as protective coatings, from baking ovens to coal-fired power plants.

CO2 detection is crucial in many industrial processes including energy production and the control of ventilation and climate control equipment.

ItN said it plans to work with industry partners to develop these CO2 sensors for the market, and is currently involved in initial discussions with third parties.

Frankfurt-based Nanostart provides venture capital financing for nanotechnology companies in various growth phases with a focus on industries such as cleantech, life sciences, and IT/electronics.
