KeDetect CW NAIAD
The KeDetect CW NAIAD (Nerve Agent Immobilized-enzyme Alarm Detector) is a battery powered CWA biosensor. The vendor claims the NAIAD can detect all known and unknown nerve agents, including Novichok and FTA variants. Limits of detection are sub-miosis level. Also detects attack concentrations of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The vendor literature does not provide details of the sensing technology used in this product.
