Training aids for detection dog
The patented technology of Getxent tube provides a safe and effective way to train detection dogs in real-world conditions with 100% real odor. The blank Getxent tubes absorb all odor molecules from a target odor, and release them accurately and continuously, allowing long-term training. As the Getxent tubes only release the captured molecules without any harmful agents, they can be safely used in public places. The Getxent tubes are already used in various fields for canine training, including defense, environment, and health, for disease diagnosis, narcotics detection, explosive detection, and more.

Applications
Defense
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, seminal fluids 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 from several months to several years. Already used to detect: bed bugs, turtle nest, foulbrood, plant virus, etc.
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 tubes are 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.
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.
Beyond detection dogs
Getxent tubes are also widely used in the food and beverage industry for flavor and aroma analysis, allowing for precise quality control and product development. In the pet food sector, the Getxent tubes play a critical role in testing new formulations (palatability). Furthermore, Getxent tubes are valuable tools for air pollution monitoring in public spaces, such as production sites, offices, schools, and hospitals, where they help ensure compliance with environmental standards and promote healthier environments. In healthcare and diagnostics projects, Getxent tubes are utilized for analyzing breath samples to detect biomarkers linked to various diseases, providing a non-invasive approach to medical diagnostics.
