GERSTEL: Uncovering the Cause – Identifying Off-Odors with Sensory Directed Analysis

In this Webinar, Nicole Kfoury (Application Scientist, GERSTEL Inc., USA) demonstrates how Sensory Directed Analysis (SDA) can be used to pinpoint even the faintest off-odors in complex samples.

SDA enables the detection of odor-active compounds that may otherwise remain hidden from traditional analysis – from packaging materials to fermented beverages - by combining:

  • Gas Chromatography
  • Mass Spectrometry
  • Human Nose

Through two real-world case studies, you learn how to apply SDA to isolate and identify problematic compounds, even at trace levels. The webinar covers:

  • Thin-Film SPME & Twister, for high-capacity extraction
  • Multi-Desorption Mode, to boost sensitivity
  • Selectable 1D/2D-GC, for enhanced separation

Whether you're facing customer complaints or seeking to ensure product quality, this webinar provides practical strategies and insights that make the invisible finally detectable.

Therefore, secure your spot now!
