What could scent solve for you?

Two challenges.

One discovery platform.

attract bugs

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.

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:

regulatory

Define the challenge

We start by identifying your pest, disease or market need.

Detection Icon

Collect the odour

We capture VOCs from the relevant biological system using proprietary collection technology.

Magnifying Glass Icon

Identify what matters

Using advanced analytical chemistry and AI, we identify promising compounds and the odour signals that matter.

Validate the biology

Validate the biology

Validate discoveries through multiple biological approaches, including insect antennae, behavioural testing and trained detection dogs where appropriate.

product development

Develop the solution

Turn discoveries into practical solutions through formulation, sensor training, product design and development.

Tick Icon 1

Test & optimise

Iterate and validate to progress towards a commercially relevant product.

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.
