ScentLogix™ R&D Scent & Odour Engineering

Research & Development: Specialised Scent & Odour Engineering

ScentLogix™ specializes in:
• The engineering of non-hazardous scent simulants of hazardous materials such as explosives, narcotics, moulds, nerve gases and chemical warfare agents for both K9 and electronic vapour detection;
• The development of odours and molecular taggants that can be used in human watermarking or material-taggings, whereby movements of tagged item can thereafter be tracked by canines, other living biological detectors or optoelectronic detectors. We can formulate training aids for any scenario whatsoever.

Our applied R&D does not end in the detector-K9 realm. Expertise includes optimizing the sensitivity and selectivity of vapor and particulate detection systems; reducing the dimensionalities of sensor data; development of hybridized and multimodal GC/IR/MS/THz systems, MEMS systems, electronic nose sensor arrays, data fusion of multimodal detection systems, and the fabrication of surrogate scents and scent stimulants for R&D and calibration of vapor detecting machines.

Odour and Molecular Taggants for Covert Tracking and Watermarking

We are interested in R&D involving the production of odours and molecular taggants that can be used in tagging individuals or objects, whereby movements of tagged item can thereafter be tracked by canines, other living biological detectors or optoelectronic detectors. Contacts made by tagged item can also be identified through transfer of taggant material.

Multimodal Detection Systems

Our particular R&D interest in this area lies in singular-but-multimodal detection systems that utilize disparate principles for detection, such as a GC/IR/MS multimodal ensemble, and the challenges presented by fusion of the orthogonal data provided by individual technologies that comprise the system.

Odor Conversion of Environmental Effluents Before their Release into the Atmosphere

We are on the cutting edge of surface science R&D and will welcome enquires pertaining to the incorporation of perquisite properties into high surface area, solid catalytic supports that will convert odoriferous gaseous effluents into non-odoriferous biodegradable, or even pleasing, surrogate scents before release into the environment.

Odours of Relevance to Social and National Security

We can create scents that can act as mood modifiers in the training of personnel and troops. Such scents can be used for:
•    making taught content extremely immersive and compelling - for example, provide a heightened sense of reality during in-field and computer-based combat training programs,
•    creating moods and intensifying targeted emotions such as happiness and anxiety, fear and love,
•    reinforcing the ability to recollect places, situations, circumstances, and seasons,
•    modulation of behavioral aspects, as a determinant of behavior.
