Volatile AI

Human lives, product waste and CO2 emissions could be saved if we had the ability to detect molecules digitally – and ideally outside of the lab. Once tests are performed, the interpretation of the outputs of chromatograms and mass spectrometers is highly manual. The whole process can take hours. To enable seamless digital detection of chemical compounds for the modern world, better instruments and sensors, better and bigger datasets, and better algorithms are needed.

With Volatile AI’s portable gas chromatograph, detecting chemical compounds does not require a chemistry lab anymore. Multi-sensor data is then processed using AI algorithms solving for the ultimate client needs: material chemical composition control, smell profiling, and contaminant detection.

Volatile AI are reducing the time needed to perform these analyses from 2-5 days (including collecting and shipping samples to a lab) to 1 hour for field testing using their device. And they’re cutting the per sample cost from $100 for a lab test to $10.
