Un metodo para detectar al menos un olor en una muestra de gas, comprende pasar una muestra de gas hacia una camara o unidad de accionamiento termico de manera de controlar la temperatura de la muestra, dividir la muestra en una pluralidad de porciones y poner en contacto cada una con un sensor de gas distinto; y aparato asociado.

摘要

There are provided methods for detecting at least one odor in a gas sample. For example, such a method can comprise passing a gas sample into a thermal conditioning chamber or unit so as to control the temperature of the gas sample; dividing the gas sample into a plurality of portions and contacting each of the portions together with a different gas sensor. There is also provided an apparatus for detecting an odor that comprises a thermal conditioning unit adapted to control the temperature of a gas sample; a divider adapted to divide the gas sample into a plurality of gas portions; and a plurality of gas sensors disposed adjacently to the divider, each of the sensors being adapted to receive a portion of the gas sample in order to analyze it.
