Kansei Nano-Biosensor Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that develops sensors to measure taste and smell.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring taste and smell with sensors.
The Kansei Nano-Biosensor Lab researches the development of sensors that measure taste and smell, such as taste sensors and artificial olfactory systems.
The lab also develops sensors that use antigen-antibody reactions to detect odorants such as explosives and fragrances with ultra-high sensitivity.
It also works on developing biosensors for body fluids such as urine and saliva, and for low-molecular-weight compounds of plant origin.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Onodera Lab."
Key terms
- Taste sensor
- A sensor that measures taste components
- Antigen-antibody reaction
- A reaction in which an antibody binds to a specific substance (antigen). In sensors, this binding is used to detect the target substance
- Photonic crystal
- A material with a periodic structure on the scale of the wavelength of light. The way light passes through it can be controlled by its structure
NewsLab news
An invited review paper on odor sensor systems was published in the English-language journal of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ)
A paper with a student as first author was published in Molecules (detecting the synergistic effect of umami)
Recruitment of research students
A student's paper was published in Molecules
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on developing taste sensors, artificial olfactory systems, and sensors that detect odorants. Based on this research, it also pursues studies that attempt to apply and extend these technologies in many directions.
