Application of Electronic Nose Technology

Electronic noses have been demonstrated to discriminate between odours and volatiles from a wide range of sources. The list below shows just some of the typical applications for electronic nose technology – many are backed by research studies and published technical papers.

In some cases, Scensive is already working with research and commercial partners, however we are always interested to explore opportunities with new partners.
