Abstract: A method determines a potential poisoning of a sensor of an electronic nose by a volatile compound following an exposure of the sensor to a gaseous sample including at least this volatile compound. If there is poisoning, the method determines whether the sensor is still functional such that the sensor is still capable of carrying out one or a plurality of reliable measurements, or on the contrary, whether the sensor is saturated and must no longer be used. The method may be used with any type of electronic nose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating an electronic nose, said electronic nose comprising a plurality of optical sensors arranged on a surface and capable of being in contact with a gaseous medium of interest, said optical sensors being capable of delivering a signal representative of the local optical index of the gaseous medium of interest when they are excited by photons, the method being characterized in that it comprises the following steps: after having placed the electronic nose in a gaseous medium of interest at the initial pressure (P0) and the initial temperature (T0): a) sending photons in the direction of the sensors so as to excite said sensors; b) measuring the signal delivered by each of the sensors, this measurement providing as many responses as there are sensors; c) modifying the pressure and/or temperature of the gaseous medium of interest; d) repeating step b); and e) for each sensor, determining a correction factor such as a variation in the signal between steps d) and b) corrected by the correction factor either equal to or substantially equal to a variation in the signal between these same steps for a reference, said reference being provided by a reference sensor or a combination of reference sensors. Such a method allows a physical calibration, that in the present case is relative, to be performed between the different sensors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detection system for an electronic nose capable of detecting and identifying a set of compounds that can be found in a gaseous sample, the detection system comprises a plurality of cross-reactivity detection sensors (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7) for supplying signals representing the presence of one or more compounds of said set in the gaseous sample, and which is particularly characterised in that the detection system further comprises at least one reference sensor (RI) for supplying a signal representing the measurement noise of the detection system. The detection system further relates to an electronic nose comprising such a detection system.
