From procurement to packaging, we've made headspace testing of food, agricultural, and industrial products dramatically faster and cheaper. Whether you're guaranteeing flavor or avoiding contaminants, fulfilling your brand promise has never been easier.
Early Access is now open for Curio HS.

“Trace level analysis has been the missing piece of precision agriculture, too costly to do routinely. Quantera makes it accessible, with real implications for both research and the dairy industry. I’m excited to be piloting it in my lab.”

We upgrade headspace extraction to a portable, parallel, high-throughput system that captures richer chemical information, from the field, in minutes, at lower cost. Test more samples, catch problems sooner, and make decisions on today's data instead of last week's.
From the receiving dock to release
Move past spot checking for your ingredients. The CurioHS makes testing fast and simple enough to grade every load on the compounds that determine quality. Catch problems before production.
At the source. Measure soil health and crop maturity to time harvest with confidence.
At intake. Grade incoming aroma and quality markers. Flag taints, off-odors, and fumigant residues.
In production. Track fermentation, blending, and batch conformity in real time.
At release. Confirm and guarantee consistency, even when suppliers change.
Built for everyone who runs headspace
Harvest markers, aroma profiles, smoke taint, cork taint, pesticide residues
Test across the vineyard on the morning of harvest and know by lunch which blocks to pick. Grade every delivery. No refrigerated crates, no waiting on a distant lab.
Off-flavors, hop and fermentation aromatics, packaging taints, pesticide residues
Qualify hops, malt, and coffee on arrival. Catch a developing off-flavor in the tank, not in a customer complaint. Test every batch, because now you can afford to.
Spoilage markers, rancidity, fumigant residues, flavor QC, pesticide residues
Screen incoming milk and ingredients for off-flavors. Run the full test where you used to run a screen. More sampling, earlier detection, fewer surprises on the line.
Batch conformity, aroma fingerprints, supplier qualification, raw-material QC
Confirm a batch smells the way it should, in parallel, with the sorbent chemistry that matches the target.
VOCs and BTEX in water and soil, high-volume client work
Take the high-throughput contracts you used to turn away. Clear the seasonal backlog without adding headcount.
Residual solvents, monomers, volatile migrants
Screen every lot for the compounds that shouldn't be there, at a cost that makes every lot practical.
Parallel extraction from a multiwell plate. Up to 60x the throughput of one-at-a-time extraction when paired with DART-MS.
Same extraction principle, new format. CurioHS lets your existing headspace methods carry over with minimal reoptimization.
Load, seal, extract. No vials, no glassware.
Capture compounds in the field on our rugged cartridges, then ship the cartridges instead of perishable samples. No crates of raw material.
Interchangeable cartridges: conventional polymers or advanced sorbent materials, matched to your target and your budget.
Change the sorbent to change the selectivity. No liquid-extraction recipes, no specialist required.
GC-MS and LC-MS by standard injection today. DART-MS and other chromatography-free mass spectrometers directly. HPLC, UV-Vis, and a host of other spectrometric and spectrophotometric methods, too.
A single-use cartridge costs a few dollars, not a few hundred, and per-sample cost falls by about half on GC-MS and up to 80% with DART-MS. Replace spot checks with every-lot testing, buy on measured quality, and correctly price what you sell.
Harvest, fire, infestation, a recall: process the surge in-house instead of triaging it.
Fewer manual steps, no perishable shipments, less contamination and sample-to-sample variability.
