Getxent Tubes

Training aids for detection dogs

The patented technology (WO2018206808) of the Getxent tube provides a  safe and effective way to train detection dogs in real-world  conditions. These tubes absorb all odor molecules from a target odor,  and release them accurately and continuously for up to six months,  allowing for long-term training. As the tubes are odor-neutral and only  release the captured molecules, they can be safely used in public places  without any harmful agents. The Getxent tube (scent detection kits for  dogs) is already used in various fields for canine handler training,  including health, environment, and defense, for disease diagnosis,  species detection, explosive detection, and more.

Applications 

Health

The Getxent tube is a unique training aid which enables the  detection of diseases by dogs. Our new material absorbs all molecules  safely related to a disease, either from liquid (e.g. urine) or gas  (e.g. breath). On top, the Getxent tube is also used to analyse Volatile  Organic Compounds (VOC) by Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry  (GC-MS). Already used to detect: COVID-19, C. difficile, cancer, infectious diseases, etc.

Environment

The  Getxent tube represents a game-changing innovation to train dogs on the  detection of endangered animals, invasive species and plants. The  Getxent tube gives the opportunity to store the odors during several  months. Already used to detect: bed bugs, turtle nest, foulbrood, virus, etc.

Defence
Able to absorb any target odor without the harmful agents, the  Getxent tube is ideal for use in public settings (airports, trains,  etc.). This advantage makes Getxent tube an extremely efficient tool for  detection dogs. By rising the impregnation time, the Getxent tube  allows reproducing large amounts of real material. Already used to  detect: explosives, biological agent, electronic devices, etc.

Forensic

Odorology is the science of utilizing odors and scents as evidence to  assist in criminal investigations. Odor analysis can also be employed  to link suspects to a crime scene or to determine the presence of  specific chemicals associated with a crime (explosives or drugs). Arson  investigations can benefit from the analysis of accelerants, as  different substances leave behind distinctive smells that can assist in  identifying the nature and origin of a fire. Thanks to its high capacity  to collect odors, Getxent tubes is an essential tool to catch VOCs on a  crime scene. Already used to detect: fire accelerants, etc.
