Vertify’s 2023–2024 project investigates volatile compounds released by virus-infected and virus-free potato tubers. Its stated objective is to establish whether measurable volatile patterns can provide a basis for earlier detection.
The project description names the University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam Green Campus, Geerligs and Haute Equipe as partners. It describes collecting volatiles and analysing them with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry under controlled conditions.
This is a research approach and intended future application. The project description does not establish a commercially validated sorting method or a quantified accuracy result.
