One APCS platform · Multiple industries · Tunable target molecules
Inclustera detects
what others miss.
The same atomically precise cluster sensing architecture — tuned to different hazardous compounds — addresses critical detection needs across water, mining, gas, security, and environmental sectors.
Water & industrial discharge
Primary focus
The problem
- Environmental accidents nearly doubled 2001–2020
- Contamination spreads 4 km per hour in waterways
- Lab results take 24–48 hours — damage already done
- Cleanup costs exceed €50k per hour of delay
- Existing probes drift, foul, and fail in complex matrices
Inclustera’s solution
- APCS sensors detect cyanides, sulfur, VOCs, heavy metals
- Optical signal change visible in under 1 minute
- No power, no reagents, no calibration required
- Compatible with existing monitoring infrastructure
- API and CSV digital output for SCADA integration

Mining safety & corrosion
Pilot-ready
The problem
- H₂S accumulates in low-ventilation underground pockets
- Sulfur-driven corrosion degrades infrastructure and electronics
- Electronic sensors drift and degrade in corrosive atmospheres
- Point-based coverage leaves dangerous blind spots
- Corrosion = 3–5% of annual OPEX in mining operations
Inclustera’s solution
- Passive sensing patches installed in confined zones
- No power, no electronics — works during outages
- Early corrosion-risk visualisation before damage occurs
- Identifies H₂S accumulation micro-zones across the site
- Compatible with existing safety infrastructure
€4.5M/yr
Corrosion OPEX for a €150M mining operation

Target timeframe to demonstrate pilot value
Gas streams & refineries
In development
The problem
- Sulfur compounds poison catalysts and reduce gas quality
- H₂S damages infrastructure and creates safety hazards
- Electrochemical probes drift and foul in gas matrices
- Lab analysis is too slow for continuous process control
Inclustera’s solution
- APCS materials tuned specifically to sulfur compounds
- No calibration drift — stable in complex gas matrices
- Passive or fibre-integrated continuous monitoring
- Machine-readable digital output for process control
CBRN & security
Strategic overlay
The problem
- Field detection of chemical warfare agents and precursors
- Current instruments are heavy, power-hungry, and complex
- Passive material-based detection offers significant advantages
- EU SAFE programme relevance and defence-adjacent alignment
Inclustera’s solution
- No power or electronics — deployable anywhere
- Molecular-level selectivity reduces false positives
- Embeddable into textiles, coatings, or wearables
- Same APCS platform — no new fundamental R&D required
