About us
Our goal - Making the world more secure.

Our concept
There are research fields from which very clear concrete applications arise. It is something special that the German Research Society has granted Prof. Dr. Rainer Herges, head of the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Christian Albrechts University, a special research area for twelve years and financed it with 25 million euros. The internationally renowned professor, who also holds a visiting professorship at MIT in Boston, has developed a method that can make the world safer in times of international terror:
The substance for detecting explosives was created in this research work. At the heart of the patent-pending invention is a metal porphyrin, for which a patent application has been filed with the European Patent Office under number EP20167599.8.
herges detection® was founded at the beginning of 2020 as a spin-off of the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, together with the multiple successful entrepreneur RNDr. Stefan Kloth.
