  • Device for detecting insect larvae and adult insects in stored products by sensing their volatile pheromones and semiochemicals
    Patent number: 11927579
    Abstract: Minimal-cost, high-accuracy, and portable devices used to detect the presence of insects at all stages of life, including in the egg stage, in stored products by sensing gas phase markers such as volatile pheromones, semiochemicals, and kairomones. The methods, devices, and systems disclosed herein utilize a sensor array configured to simultaneously measure a plurality of target markers and filter background gases while remaining compact, highly accurate, and easy to operate.
