The G. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the RAS (Russian Academy of Sciences) Siberian Branch has developed a microdose radiographic system of inspection and admission control called SibScan.

In the present conditions the problem of protecting human lives is getting especially acute. Since the 1980s the staff members of the Design-and-Technological Institute of Instrument Engtneering for Geophysics and Ecology (DTI IEGE), the Siberian branch of Russian Academy of Sciences have been developing and making highly efficient analytic devices to detect and identify explosive, toxic and narcotic substances (ES, TS, NS). On the basis of high-speed multycapillary columns and remote vortex sampling a new type of portable express gas chromatographs of the ECHO series has been developed.

Institute of Chromatography “EcoNova”, Ltd. was set up in Novosibirsk as an enterprise to do innovation business.

In recent years the Administration of the Novosibirsk region together with partners in such fields as science, education, manufacturing and business has managed to arrange a system-defined activity of forming a market of intellectual products and creating a favorable environment to promote investments in science, education and hi-tech manufacturing.
