Scent Detection Technologies (SDT), a provider of low-cost trace detection sensors and mobile hand-held "sniffing" devices, has received $5 million in strategic investments from Sequoia Capital. This is SDT's second round of funding, following the Israel Military Industries Ltd. (IMI) investment of $2.5 million.

SDT expects to launch its first product, the Mini-Nose for explosives trace detection in the second quarter of 2006. The Mini-Nose is a portable, highly sensitive, non-invasive device capable of trace and particle detection. The Mini-Nose is addressing the needs of the following market niches: aviation security, military, police, border-control, federal buildings, mass transit, prisons, ports, and courts.
