ABOUT US

APOPO addresses global issues through research, development and deployment of scent detection technology at its training and research center in Tanzania and seven other countries.

FINDING LANDMINES

59 countries and states suffer from the blight of hidden landmines. APOPO's landmines detection rats ignore scrap metal and only detect explosive scent, making them much faster at finding landmines than metal detectors.

DETECTING TUBERCULOSIS

Detecting tuberculosis remains one of the biggest challenges facing medical professionals. APOPO’s TB detection rats can check 100 samples for tuberculosis in 20 minutes; the same task would take a lab technician up to 4 days. Suspect samples are re-checked using LED fluorescence microscopy.
