How does the Getxent technology work?

To explain how the Getxent tube works, we consider two stages:

1. Impregnation: The concentration of odor molecules inside a blank Getxent tube is zero. Outside the blank tube, the concentration of target odor molecules is higher. This difference in concentration creates a gradient, causing odor molecules to flow from the outside to the inside of the blank tube. As a result, the blank Getxent tube absorbs the odor molecules.

As long as the Getxent tube is near the target, it continues to absorb odor molecules.

2. Release (training): In this stage, the concentration of odor molecules inside the impregnated Getxent tube is higher than outside. This creates a gradient in the opposite direction, causing the target odor molecules to flow from the inside to the outside of the impregnated tube. This outward flow prevents contamination by other odor molecules, as they would have to move counter to the flow.
