Device for detecting insect larvae and adult insects in stored products by sensing their volatile pheromones and semiochemicals

摘要

Minimal-cost, high-accuracy, and portable devices used to detect the presence of insect larvae and adult insects 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.
