Altered Carbon Ltd Company

Humankind has enabled computers to hear, see and touch.
Altered Carbon is a graphene gas sensor company, ready to be the first to bring the sense of smell to the connected world.

AC is Harnessing the properties of graphene to create a truly passive, solid-state sensor, better suited to IoT and Industry 4.0 these sensors have the potential to disrupt the traditional performance against cost trade-off currently offered by the gas sensor market. The company combines AI with sensor arrays allowing "design to fit" for specific purposes, suitable for solving expensive industry problems, such as edible food waste in the UK, a loss of around £12.5 Billion a year.

AC has a market-ready sensor for detection of nitrogen oxide, with ammonia and CO2 at the prototype stage, with several multinationals intent on implementing the first generation sensors into a range of applications.

Company milestones have been achieved by a core team of 6 based in the 'The Bristol Robotics Laboratory technology Incubator' and financed to date by sales [of our IoT communications hardware. Development challenges have been met by our world-class R&D partners 'The national Physical Laboratory' and 'Health-tech hub bristol'.

AC begin an early-stage investment round shortly.
