ScentsCheck™ Technology

The ‘electronic nose’ revolutionising VOC detection

Imagine a sensor that can “smell” the unseen, capturing molecular signatures with precision, just like a trained sniffer dog. That’s ScentsCheck™. Originally developed for in-field soil health testing, our innovative technology functions as an ‘electronic nose,’ similar to a dog’s nose, that can be trained to detect specific scents, and its capabilities go way beyond agriculture.

At its core, ScentsCheck™ detects and interprets volatile organic compounds (VOCs). That means our technology can be adapted to numerous industries where VOC detection could provide huge value.

ScentsCheck™ combines chemistry, engineering, electronics, and AI in a seamless process

Step 01

Sample Collection

A small sample is placed into the unit.

Step 02

VOC Release

The unit excites the sample to release its VOCs.

Step 03

Sensor Response

VOCs attach to our sensor, triggering electrical changes that help identify the sample’s unique chemical signature.

Step 04

Digital Fingerprinting

These changes create a unique digital fingerprint specific to that sample.

Step 05

AI Analysis

The digital fingerprint is sent up to the cloud where AI processes and analyses it, delivering accurate results to your smartphone in around 7 minutes.

The ScentsCheck™ advantage

Why this matters

Traditional testing methods across industries bring similar challenges. Samples are sent off, analysis takes days or weeks, and results can arrive too late for timely decision making. ScentsCheck™ enables smarter, simple testing whether that’s in an agricultural field or an industrial setting, for faster, effective decisions.

Powerful applications beyond soil analysis

While our initial focus was on developing a soil health measurement tool, ScentsCheck™ isn’t just for soil.

It has vast potential for industries where VOC detection matters:

Animal Health

Test faecal samples to get a bigger picture of livestock health.

Food Storage

Cut waste by detecting produce deterioration, days before it’s visible.

Drinks Industry

Achieve better product consistency and quality control and detect counterfeits.

Manufacturing

Enhance the production process with superior quality control and product consistency.

Healthcare

Detect health conditions by analysing a single breath or blood sample.

Testing transformed

When the decisions you make depend on fast, accurate analysis, backed by comprehensive insight, you need ScentsCheck™. Rapid. Reliable. Portable. It’s testing transformed
