dot.discovery™
What could scent solve for you?
Use the science of scent to develop smarter pest and disease detection and control solutions with dot.discovery™.
Every living system releases tiny airborne chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We recognise them as smells. Scent helps us detect what we cannot see - smoke signals fire, sourness signals spoilage, mustiness signals mould.
dot.discovery™ combines olfactory science, analytical chemistry, biological approaches and AI to help organisations discover and develop new ways to detect, attract or repel pests and identify disease through the science of scent.
What could scent solve for you?
Two challenges.
One discovery platform.
Manipulate pest behaviour
Develop effective natural attractant or repellent solutions by identifying and exploiting the chemical signals that influence pest behaviour.
Detect pests & disease
Develop non-invasive, sensor-based monitoring solutions capable of identifying pests or disease earlier through their unique odour signatures.

From idea to product all under one roof.
Here is how we work:
Define the challenge
We start by identifying your pest, disease or market need.
Collect the odour
We capture VOCs from the relevant biological system using proprietary collection technology.
Identify what matters
Using advanced analytical chemistry and AI, we identify promising compounds and the odour signals that matter.
Validate the biology
Validate discoveries through multiple biological approaches, including insect antennae, behavioural testing and trained detection dogs where appropriate.
Develop the solution
Turn discoveries into practical solutions through formulation, sensor training, product design and development.
Test & optimise
Iterate and validate to progress towards a commercially relevant product.
One partner. From scientific discovery to product development.
Protect revenue
Protect reputation
Reduce treatment costs & disruption
why dot?
We capture the complete picture.
We don’t rely on sensors alone.
We validate discoveries through multiple biological approaches to help ensure our solutions work in the real world.
We find the signals that matter.
We focus on the odour signals that actually drive behaviour or indicate disease, rather than simply identifying everything present.
We accelerate discovery.
Advanced analytical chemistry combined with AI allows us to rapidly analyse complex odour profiles and identify promising compounds.
Our proprietary VOC collection technology captures a richer chemical fingerprint, helping improve the accuracy and robustness of detection.
We understand biology as well as chemistry.
Our multidisciplinary scientists bring together expertise across entomology, olfactory science, and analytical chemistry.
