If you do not know - " antenna of bugs " have also been used as GC detector
s for over a decade.
Check with Terry Acree, NY State Experimental Station, Geneva, NY - part of
Cornell U.
He does a lot of food odor research with his "CHARM" Mac sniffing system fo
r decades..
I got to know him from my wine [enology] industry work !
How much can we learn from other creatures on earth - they may know a lot m
ore than us in many ways !

Hello Colleagues,
Did you happen to see the Chemical & Engineering News (May 9, 2011, p 56)
rticle regarding the cancer-sniffing dog? According C&EN, this amazing do
g
an correctly identify positive colorectal cancer from a patient's fecal
pecimen with 97% accuracy. As far as service animal jobs go, this one must
be
onsidered by dogs to be the epitome of all the sniffing jobs, leaving drug,
xplosive, and mercury-sniffing in a distant 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place.
The next step for the researchers is to identify the compound that's unique
to
ancer. Perhaps this dog could also serve as a GC detector by sniffing what
omes off of the chromatography column - the correct fraction being when the
og's tail wags. But I don't believe using a GC dog-detector is something
esearch labs presently do do.
