All living things produce volatile organic compounds. These biochemical signals are a way to describe the nature and state of the world within and around us.
Imagine if you could interpret this natural language - you would be able to diagnose disease on your breath, the quality of the food you eat, the water you drink, and the air you breath.
Scentian Bio has the solution, 400 million years in the making. We are harnessing the powerful smell receptors from insects to deliver a sensor technology that will put nature’s language at your fingertips.
