making sense of scents
We detect the invisible. Our "artificial nose" biosensor identifies volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — the molecules that carry scent — using engineered proteins and cutting-edge electronics.
A universal, programmable sensing platform that turns molecular interactions into signals — enabling earlier diagnosis, safer food, and cleaner environments.
Use Cases
Real‑world problems we target first, where VOC signatures matter most.
Healthcare Diagnostics
Non‑invasive breath or sample analysis for early infection signals.
Example: Hospital ICU monitoring
detects bacterial infections early,
preventing spread before symptoms.
Food Safety & Freshness
Monitor spoilage markers across the cold chain to reduce waste.
Example: Fish transport sensors
detect spoilage markers early,
preventing illness and waste.
Environmental Monitoring
Detect hazardous VOCs for indoor air quality and leak detection.
Example: Industrial leak detection
identifies toxic gases immediately,
preventing exposure and damage.
How It Works
Four building blocks power the platform.
Proteins & AI
AI predicts novel protein designs for fast, scalable biosensor development.
Biotechnology
Engineered proteins bind target VOCs with high specificity and scalability.
GFET Electronics
Graphene FETs convert binding into precise, low‑noise signals.
Wireless
Wireless modules stream sensor data for real‑time VOC analysis.
The Science of Smell, Reimagined
Every living thing emits a unique pattern of VOCs — from ripening fruit to harmful bacteria. Our platform uses specially designed proteins that selectively bind to these molecules. These proteins are mounted on ultra-sensitive graphene-based field‑effect transistors (GFETs), which convert these interactions into readable signals.
Where We Are
Scenti.ai is in the R&D phase. We are exploring use cases across healthcare, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Our vision is to create a universal bio-sensing platform — powered by nature's own detection tools, reimagined through science.
