Kansei Nano-Bio Sensor Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that develops sensors to measure taste and smell.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring taste and smell with biotechnology and electronics.
The Kansei Nano-Bio Sensor Lab studies taste sensors, artificial olfactory systems, and sensors that detect odorants.
The lab works on enhancing the functionality of taste sensors, developing artificial olfactory systems, and developing sensors that detect odorants such as explosives and fragrances with ultra-high sensitivity.
It also studies odor and gas sensing using photonic crystals, and biosensors that target small molecules in body fluids such as urine and saliva and small molecules derived from plants.
The lab's website lists it under the name "Onodera Lab."
Key terms
- Taste sensor
- A sensor that measures taste with an instrument instead of the human tongue
- Antigen-antibody reaction
- A reaction in which an antibody binds to its target substance (the antigen). It is used in sensors to distinguish substances
- Artificial olfactory system
- A system that distinguishes odors with an instrument instead of the human nose
NewsLab news
