Electronic Nose Analysis to Detect Milk Obtained from Pasture-Raised Goats

Sensors: From Biosensors to the Electronic Nose

Electronic nose analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

BACKGROUND Electronic nose (E-nose) technology has been successfully used to diagnose a number of microbial infections. We have investigated the potential use of an E-nose for the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by detecting micro-organisms in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in a prospective comparative study of E-nose analysis and microbiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS BAL...

The potential to detect boar tainted carcasses by using an electronic nose based on mass spectrometry

Introduction Based on a parliamentary decision, in the year 2009 castration of male piglets without anesthesia will be banned in Switzerland. Thus, pig producers are forced to search for alternatives to the common practice. Rearing intact male pigs to market weight could constitute one possible alternative solution. However, producers, retailers, and consumers are concerned about the incidence ...

Review of Electronic-nose Technologies and Algorithms to Detect Hazardous Chemicals in the Environment

Novel mobile electronic-nose (e-nose) devices and algorithms capable of real-time detection of industrial and municipal pollutants, released from point-sources, recently have been developed by scientists worldwide that are useful for monitoring specific environmental-pollutant levels for enforcement and implementation of effective pollution-abatement programs. E-nose devices are ideal instrumen...
