An Artificial Olfactory Mucosa for Enhanced Complex Odour Analysis

2 An Artificial Olfactory Mucosa for Enhanced Complex Odour Analysis 

Differential sorption of compounds within the artificial mucosa gives rise to a temporal fingerprint in the chemosensor response which is sensitive to the concentrations and presence of different compounds. The important aspect here that is distinct from previous techniques exploiting the temporal dimension is that the delivery of the stimulus itself becomes specific to the compound(s) being delivered, which imposes
