A high-sensitivity olfactory system with a graphene FET biosensor and a portable odorant capture module

In this paper, we report the demonstration of odorant capture and detection with a high-sensitivity olfactory system having a membrane-type odorant capture module. We carried out the odorant capture experiment with limonene and skatole gases as representative odorants, and the captured concentration was 7.6 nM and 0.2 µM, respectively. Furthermore, we have demonstrated 10 nM sensitivity by the graphene FET biosensor, which implies that our olfactory sensing system can realize from gas capture to sensing.
