Welcome To The Porphyrin Lab

IIT Roorkee presents a patented technology available for licensing “Nonplanar Electron-Deficient Porphyrin Sensors for Colorimetric ‘Naked Eye’ Detection of Cyanide Ions.” Developed by Prof. M. Sankar and Mr. Rohit from the Department of Chemistry, this innovation offers a simple, rapid, and cost-effective method to detect cyanide ions without the need for complex instrumentation. It is ideal for on-site industrial, environmental, and public health applications, particularly where cyanide contamination is a concern. This technology holds significant potential for industries in environmental monitoring, chemical manufacturing, mining, water testing, and food safety.
