Molecular odour analysis with GC-MS (VOC).
Olfasense offers its clients a convenient way to gain detailed insights into the molecular composition of their emissions. As part of our established portfolio of molecular analyses, we provide you with TENAX sampling tubes, train your staff in proper sampling techniques, and then analyse the returned samples in our laboratory.
This streamlined service package gives you the opportunity to identify the key volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odour-active substances in your emissions – without the need for complex on-site equipment.
Clients using our service
- monitor/control limit values of substances of high concern/harmful substances;
- prove the effectiveness of their odour control and abatement system (on specific substances beside odour);
- become able to decide which air treatment system to choose based on valid molecular data for a fact based decisionmaking;
- diagnose deeper to identify a problem in the cases the olfactometrical results are problematic.
Our molecular analysis portfolio includes:
- High-resolution GC-MS to characterise specific VOCs in complex gas mixtures;
- GC-Sniffing to identify odour-relevant compounds and assess their sensory impact;
- Siloxane analysis in biogas and air samples;
- Targeted group analyses (e.g. sulphur compounds, aldehydes).
How it works:
- We provide you with TENAX tubes and a short training in correct sampling procedures (available with certification if required);
- You carry out the sampling on site;
- You return the tubes to our laboratory;
- We perform the molecular analyses and provide you with comprehensive results and recommendations.
This approach not only makes VOC analysis more cost-effective and flexible, but also allows you to generate reliable data at any time you need to evaluate or optimise your odour abatement strategy.
