What is the Sniffer4D Nano2?
The Soarability Sniffer4D Nano2 Gas Detection and Mapping System seamlessly integrates with the DJI Matrice 3D/3TD drones for the DJI Dock 2. Pairing with the DJI Dock 2 enables on-demand automated and remote gas detection. The compact design ensures zero interference with M3D/M3TD's obstacle avoidance functionality.
Sniffer4D supports a multi-software ecosystem, ensuring streamlined and efficient data processing and management on Soarability Spatiotemporal Insights, DJI FlightHub 2, and other third-party platforms.
What is the difference between Sniffer4D Nano2 Base Unit and TDLAS Unit?
The Sniffer4D Nano2 base unit can integrate up to four modules, enabling versatile gas detection. Operators can configure various modules to create a bespoke solution for their needs. Available parameters include TVOC, SO2, CO, NO2, O3, PM1.2, PM2.5, PM10, CxHy/CH4/LEEL, H2S, HCI, TSP/PM100, NH3, CO2, HCN, H2, PH3, CI2, O2, NO, HCHO, Odor (OU).
The TDLAS Unit however, capable of multi-path TDLAS hyper-local methane detection, measures methane only with high resolution down to 1 ppm.

Sniffer4D Nano2: Use Cases
Ambient Air Monitoring:
The Sniffer4D Nano2 excels in ambient air monitoring by providing precise measurements of pollutants and overall environmental quality. This capability is critical for urban areas, where the device helps track air quality indices, including particulate matter and gaseous contaminants. By offering real-time data, the Sniffer4D Nano2 enables swift responses to pollution spikes and contributes to better public health outcomes. Its high sensitivity and accuracy ensure that environmental agencies can rely on its readings to make informed decisions and implement effective air quality management strategies.
Oil and Gas Pipeline Inspections
In the oil and gas industry, the Sniffer4D Nano2 is instrumental for pipeline inspections, where it aids in the detection of leaks and ensures operational safety. The device’s advanced sensors are capable of identifying minute concentrations of hazardous gases, allowing for early detection of potential issues before they escalate into significant problems. This proactive approach not only enhances safety but also helps in maintaining the integrity of pipeline infrastructure, thereby reducing environmental risks and minimising operational downtime.
Landfill Management:
For landfill management, the Sniffer4D Nano2 plays a crucial role in assessing and controlling emissions. Landfills often produce various gases that can pose environmental and health risks, including methane and other volatile compounds. By monitoring these emissions, the Sniffer4D Nano2 helps landfill operators implement effective mitigation strategies and comply with environmental regulations. This contributes to reducing the risk of groundwater contamination and ensures that landfills are managed in a more sustainable manner.
Hazmat Response and Greenhouse Gas Monitoring:
In hazardous materials (Hazmat) response scenarios, the Sniffer4D Nano2 provides essential real-time data on the presence and concentration of dangerous substances. This capability is vital for emergency responders who need accurate information to manage and neutralise chemical spills or leaks safely. Additionally, the device supports climate change efforts by monitoring greenhouse gases, which are critical for understanding and addressing global warming. Its precision in detecting various gases aids scientific research and helps in formulating strategies to mitigate climate impacts effectively.
Sniffer4D Nano2: In Summary
