Recently, the Jiangmen Dual Carbon Laboratory successfully completed the installation and debugging of the German AIRSENSE high-performance electronic nose system, marking an important breakthrough in its research equipment and innovation capabilities. The official launch of this equipment marks that the laboratory has strong international analytical capabilities in the field of basic research on traditional Chinese medicine odor substances and development of green and low-carbon technologies, laying a key technical foundation for building an objective and standardized quality evaluation system for traditional Chinese medicine.

Biomimetic sense of smell, precise "sniffing" of the secrets of traditional Chinese medicine

Odor is one of the key indicators for evaluating the "quality effectiveness" of traditional Chinese medicine. Although traditional identification methods relying on manual experience are effective, they face challenges such as strong subjectivity, difficulty in quantification, and standardization. The German AIRSENSE electronic nose introduced this time is known as the "artificial olfactory expert". It simulates the human olfactory perception mechanism, integrates ultra sensitive sensor arrays and advanced data pattern recognition algorithms, and can quickly, objectively, and accurately analyze and identify the complex odors emitted by traditional Chinese medicine through the "odor fingerprint" spectrum.

This device is like a tireless digital pharmacist, capable of converting the unique odor information of authentic medicinal herbs such as tangerine peel and patchouli into quantifiable scientific data, scientifically interpreting the material basis of traditional Chinese medicine odors, establishing a quality evaluation and authenticity identification system based on objective data, and providing a technical platform for it.

Based in the Bay Area, create a unique research business card

Applying the cutting-edge German AIRSENSE electronic nose technology to traditional Chinese medicine research is an important practice for Jiangmen Dual Carbon Laboratory to promote technological innovation and align with industry demand. The laboratory focuses on the research and development of "dual carbon" technology, and this time introduces electronic noses to carry out traditional Chinese medicine odor analysis, aiming to solve practical industrial problems through technological means. This study is expected to provide new methods for quality control and green processing of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as explore new paths for the low-carbon development of related industries. In the future, the laboratory will continue to rely on this platform, deepen industry university research cooperation, strive to form innovative achievements with practical value, and provide technological support for regional high-quality development. The successful installation of AIRSENSE electronic nose in Germany marks that Jiangmen Dual Carbon Laboratory has a more sensitive "sense of smell" in exploring the scientific path of carbon neutrality, and will surely open a new chapter for the modernization and low-carbon development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
