Alpha MOS develops and markets Electronic Nose (E-Nose) instruments to analyze odors and volatile compounds (VOC).
In a way similar to human nose, Electronic Noses (E-Noses) allow global analysis of the headspace (volatile compounds) generated by liquid, gaseous or solid samples.
These odor analyzers consist of three main parts: a sampling system, a detection system, a data acquisition and processing system.
Alpha MOS has developed various models of odor analyzers that can include various sampling modes :
- Manual sampling
- Autosampler
- On-line sampling
and different detection technologies :
- Gas sensors (Metal Oxide Sensors or MOS)
- Ultra Fast Gas Chromatography
- Fingerprint Mass Spectrometry
- Soft Ionized Mass Spectrometry.
Data acquisition and processing is achieved through Alpha MOS proprietary software (Alpha Soft) using powerful multivariate statistics and chemometrics.
The different models of Electronic Nose analyzers are specifically designed for R&D, formulation, product development, process monitoring and quality control applications.
