Simple odor analysis system with high reproducibility and reliable measurement for industrial use cases.
Aryballe’s artificial nose detects odors and compares them with references in an odor library, helping manufacturers develop new products and carry out quality controls.
Designed for industrial customers, Aryballe’s NeOse Advance can identify several hundred odors.
Founded in 2014, the startup Aryballe offers its NeOse Advance odor sensor worldwide. It has a portfolio of 40 patents (including five CEA patents) and an exceptional database of 250,000 olfactory signatures.
Identifying odors is difficult—factors like humidity, the number of odorous molecules, and variations in concentrations can skew the data. Measuring less than a cubic centimeter, Aryballe’s bio-inspired electronic nose meets industry standards of reliability and reproducibility and can discern hundreds of odors. The startup also offers services like remote analysis dashboards, odor studies, and more.
Based in Grenoble, Aryballe has subsidiaries in New York and Seoul and invests heavily in R&D. The company’s joint laboratory with the CEA is working on more compact and efficient silicon sensors, as well as on selecting new biosensors.
