APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR COLLECTING AND ANALYZING OLFACTORY SAMPLES

摘要

A method for employing canines to identify target specimens from among a stream of sets of olfactory specimens, the method comprising for each set, sending at least two canines to sniff a sequenced set of specimens; and if a first of the two canines gives a positive indication to at least one specimen in the set and a second of the two canines gives a negative indication to at least one specimen in the set, re-sequencing the set, repeating the sending step and deciding as to whether or not at least one specimen in the set is contaminated, using a processor to combine a computerized representation of results of both canines and both repetitions of the sending step.
