IDM Sensor

Suzhou Huiwen Nanotechnology Co., Ltd., also known as IDM Sensor, is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the development, production, and sale of advanced MEMS intelligent gas sensors. Founded in Suzhou, China, in 2014 by a team of scientists with experience from NASA, the company focuses on providing comprehensive gas detection and artificial olfaction solutions. The founders include Sun Xuhui, who serves as Chairman, CEO, and Chief Scientist, along with Wu Qingle and Lu Yijiang, who specialize in nano gas-sensitive materials and olfaction algorithms, respectively.

The company leverages nanotechnology and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) processes to create sensor chips that are low-power, small, highly sensitive, and easily integrated. Its product portfolio includes sensors for a wide array of toxic and harmful gases such as formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, alcohol, ammonia, methane, and various volatile organic compounds (TVOCs). IDM Sensor also produces film pressure sensors, optical sensors, and complete detection modules and systems, like their multi-channel gas sensor array known as an "E-nose". These products serve a broad range of markets including industrial safety, smart homes, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and automotive electronics.

IDM Sensor has established a significant manufacturing capacity, with a production line capable of producing millions of MEMS gas sensor chips annually. The firm has undergone several rounds of funding, securing investments from notable venture capital firms like Lenovo创投 (Legend Capital), 九合创投 (Jiuhe Ventures), and 元禾控股 (Oriza Holdings), which has supported its growth and product development. The business model involves the direct sale of sensor components, modules, and complete detector instruments, as well as providing ODM/OEM services for customized solutions.
