Overview
Olfactomics is pioneering next-generation volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis by combining its best-in-class differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) hardware with advanced machine learning analytics. The company operates in two primary verticals: industrial applications, such as battery safety and material quality control, and medical diagnostics, with a focus on real-time tissue analysis during cancer surgery. Founded by surgeons and engineers, Olfactomics is translating its platform technology into specific products like IonVision for industrial use and Resect for surgical margin assessment, positioning itself at the intersection of analytical chemistry, AI, and precision medicine.
Technology Platform
Proprietary Differential Mobility Spectrometry (DMS) hardware combined with AI/ML analytics for real-time, high-sensitivity detection and analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at atmospheric pressure.

Competitive Landscape
Olfactomics competes with established analytical techniques like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and other electronic nose (e-nose) technologies. Its differentiation lies in the combination of DMS's atmospheric pressure operation, millisecond speed, ppb-level sensitivity, and proprietary AI-driven data interpretation. In the medical space, it faces competition from other intraoperative margin assessment tools like frozen section pathology and emerging optical techniques.
