300 million scent receptors give our beagles the nose for molecules that slip past every machine humans have built.
That biology, a training program that starts almost at birth, and our LUCID AI platform, drives sensitivity and specificity above 90% when they screen breath samples in our lab.
Dr. Irit Gazit explains why the olfactory cortex alone takes up 30% of a dog’s brain and how that power translates into life-saving calls.
We unpack the science, and the daily work behind it, in our Knowledge Center article.

Dogs possess an extraordinary sense of smell — capable of detecting volatile organic compounds linked to cancer at concentrations humans cannot perceive. This article will explain the biology of canine olfaction, the research behind scent-based cancer detection, and how SpotitEarly plans to train ...
