Micro Plasma Based Electronic Nose

This is an innovative approach within the area of gas sensing devices and provides a very flexible device which can detect almost any chemical without prior knowledge or calibration. Click here to download our data sheet.

The device is fully patented.

Benefits include :

  • One for ALL, no application-specific design.
  • The device can discriminate between unknown samples; recognise and label known samples; provide chemical information on gas content and suggest changes to improve sample quality.
  • No prior chemical composition knowledge required.
  • Sensitive response, including small composition changes.
  • Fast response.
  • Capable of miniaturisation.
  • Stable over time ie. does not require re-calibration or re-training.
  • When in situ does not require maintenance.
  • Key sensing elements of MPEN are low cost and disposable.
  • Associated hardware and analysis tools can be easily reprogrammed for different requirements.

This technology can be applied to :

  • Flavour/smell discrimination/recognition.
  • Breath analysis.
  • Quality control.
  • Process control.
  • Semi-qualitative/quantitative gas analysis.
  • Product development.
  • Environmental monitoring.
