Alpha MOS (NYSE Euronext,[1] A) is a compagny which designs and manufactures analytical instruments for chemical and sensory analysis, and more particularly odor [2], taste and visual analysis. The Compagny was created in 1993. It is headquartered in Toulouse, France and owns three subsidiaries in Hanover (USA), Tokyo (Japan) and Shanghai (China). Alpha MOS Electronic Nose, Electronic Tongue and Electronic Eye have various applications in food and beverage, food packaging, environment, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics, chemicals and petrochemicals.

Products

Electronic Noses allow global analysis of odors and volatile components generated by liquid, gas or solid samples. They can use gas sensor or ultra fast gas chromatography technologies.

Electronic Tongue can characterize the full taste of liquids or solids dissolved in liquids.

Electronic Eye achieves advanced visual analysis of the overall product or focused portions. It uses high resolution imaging coupled with multivariate statistics data processing.

Range of applications

Electronic nose and electronic tongue instruments are used by Research & Development laboratories, Quality Control laboratories and process & production departments for various purposes:

in R&D laboratories for[3]:

  • Formulation or reformulation of products
  • Benchmarking with competitive products
  • Shelf life and stability studies
  • Selection of raw materials
  • Packaging interaction effects
  • Simplification of consumer preference test

in Quality Control laboratories for at line quality control such as:

  • Conformity of raw materials, intermediate and final products
  • Batch to batch consistency
  • Detection of contamination, spoilage, adulteration
  • Origin or vendor selection
  • Monitoring of storage conditions.

In process and production departments for:

  • Managing raw material variability
  • Comparison with a reference product
  • Measurement and comparison of the effects of manufacturing process on products
  • Following-up cleaning in place process efficiency
  • Scale-up monitoring
  • Cleaning in place monitoring.
