Importance of measuring performance and distractors. Physical characteristics of decoys and technical specifications. AUZIKER'S VISION: Diego Pardina Aizpitarte, a PhD candidate at Auziker, holds a degree in chemistry and a master's degree in forensic analysis. An expert in gas chromatography, he has notably developed a method for detecting trihalomethanes in water samples and identified molecules present in the sweat of individuals who tested positive for COVID-19, with the aim of creating a training tool. Ainhoa Isla López, co-founder and CEO of Auziker, holds a degree in chemistry from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and a master's degree in forensic analysis. She has completed various training programs, and her research experience includes the creation of new zirconium-107 clusters, the development of a dog bait to detect the explosive TATP, and being the principal inventor of patent WO2022029354A1. All devices developed by AUZIKER use the actual scent of the substance the dog is meant to detect, are safe for both dogs and their handlers, and small enough to be concealed. AUZIKER's patented technology combines the use of new materials, knowledge of the volatile organic compounds that make up the scent of substances, and the use of cutting-edge analytical tools and multivariate data processing. At AUZIKER, a technology spin-off from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), we are committed to developing the best tools for training detection dogs.
