   LabService Analytica S.r.l., through its InterCinD division, has opened registration for IC2026ODOR, an accredited proficiency test (PT) scheme for gas analysis. The scheme is organised in accordance with the standard EN ISO/IEC 17043:2023 and is designed to help laboratories assess their analytical performance under conditions that reflect routine practice.

   This edition covers two measurands: n-butanol and tetrahydrothiophene (THT). InterCinD will provide gas cylinders at two concentration levels for n-butanol and one set of cylinders for THT, allowing participants to evaluate both precision and accuracy within a structured interlaboratory comparison.

ISOEN 2026 si è tenuta dal 17 al 20 maggio 2026 a Chongqing. Questa conferenza internazionale è uno dei principali forum scientifici dedicati alla ricerca e allo sviluppo tecnologico nei campi dell'olfatto artificiale, dei sistemi di rilevamento dei gas, dei nasi elettronici e delle lingue elettroniche. L'evento ha riunito ricercatori, rappresentanti dell'industria e istituzioni accademiche che lavorano sulle tecnologie dei sensori, sull'elaborazione dei segnali, sul riconoscimento dei modelli e sulla strumentazione analitica per le applicazioni di rilevamento chimico.

Il programma della conferenza comprendeva un'ampia gamma di attività scientifiche e tecniche, come tutorial specializzati, sessioni tecniche orali, presentazioni di poster e concorsi orientati alla tecnologia.

   After a series or many meetings during the first months of the year, the IEEE working group developing the IEEE P2520.1 draft has reached its final stage of development, bringing the baseline standard for machine olfaction devices and systems closer to completion. This draft defines a common testing framework for these devices, with the goal of measuring their performance in differentiation, recognition, and quantification tasks.

   The new IEEE standard P2520.1 is designed to provide a baseline performance standard that can be applied across a wide range of machine olfaction technologies. The document makes clear that it is intended as a foundation for the broader P2520 series, allowing more application-specific standards to build on top of a shared testing structure. Mr. James Covington, convenor of this initiative, recently talked about this new standard in the 24h-MOM.
