Symetrica was formed in 2002 to develop and commercialise unique radiation detection and identification technology derived from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southampton.
Symetrica offers advanced gamma ray spectroscopy and imaging solutions developed for security applications, medical diagnostics, geophysical applications and for space research and development. Leading products currently focus on homeland security, providing accurate detection and identification of radiological threat materials with hand-held detectors, mobile systems, personnel and cargo portals.
"A convertible loan from NESTA in 2004 funded the development of our first prototype, demonstrating the capability of Symetrica's technology. NESTA then provided valuable input to board deliberations and participated at each subsequent investment round, helping the company to establish its first commercial products and create an exciting product pipeline"
