Scensive’s new electronic nose, based on the successful BH114,
housed in a high
quality case, with
front mounted sample
and reference ports,
upgraded software
and hardware.
The instrument is PC
driven and simple to
use, data analysis
software included,
can be used for
direct analysis of
odour samples
with minimal sample
preparation.
Instruments can be supplied with sensor arrays suitable for general research or selected to be application specific. |

Instrument Details |
|
The ST214 instrument is linked to a standard PC.
The application software allows the user to fully specify
sampling parameters(sample sniff, reference odour, hold,
exhale, flush, etc.) and then automatically
controls the ‘sniff’ procedure, records
and manages the output data resulting.
|
|
All of the operational variables can be controlled using a
sophisticated
graphical user
interface. The
output graphics
enables the user to
compare the
resulting odour
profile with
previously prepared
master profiles held
in a library.
The user can decide to gather, analyse and export data from all or only
some of the sensors,
depending on the
complexity of the
odour being studied.
The Bloodhound ST214
uses 14 sensors (one
is a reference
sensor) produced
from a variety of
materials and this
produces an
instrument which is
responsive to a wide
range of odours. For
very specific
applications, fewer
sensors may be
needed and Scensive
can select or design
sensor materials to
increase detection,
qualitative and
quantitative
responses. |
 |
The response to a
particular smell
depends on the
sensor type and the
repeatability of
that response is
very high. Here are
shown 10 repeat
responses from 14
sensors to a 7
second pulse
of volatiles, the
total time trace is
30 seconds. |
 |
The latest
Bloodhound™ ST214
software includes
the facility to
carry out PCA
analysis which can
be used to
characterise the
sample odour and
enables the
instrument to
discriminate between
odours. |
