We offer:
Research
- analysis of changes in the intensity of the bouquet of aromas of biological, agricultural and food materials
- detection of simple odors (e.g. chemical standards)
- detection of complex odors
- testing of volatile substances concentrations
- analysis of volatile substances as a marker of microflora development
- analysis of sensor responses (sensor drift, sensorgram)
- creating a library of sensor responses for the electronic nose
- calibration of the electronic nose for the ability to detect specific markers of physico-chemical phenomena
- Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis
Possibility of ordering and execution an electronic nose:
- design and accomplish of an electronic nose focused on the analysis of specific fragrance sets
