Food and health companies need rapid ways to identify flavour molecules, bioactivity, contaminants, and other chemical signals that conventional analytical workflows may detect slowly or indirectly.
R&D Focus
Bio-inspired sensing, insect olfaction, biochips, flavour and health molecule detection, hazard detection, and AI interpretation.
Innovative Solution
InsectSense develops LumiNose, a biochip platform inspired by insect sensing mechanisms and combined with AI to detect and interpret molecular signals.
