Summary/Abstract: Czech legislation accepts scent identification using specially trained dogs (olfactory method) only as supporting evidence. Therefore, an effort is being made to support this identification with instrumental analysis – olfactronically. This paper summarizes the results of five independent studies conducted in 2020–2022 at the UCT Prague, which deals with the olfactronic analysis of human body scent using the two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy and time-of-flight analyser (GC×GC–MS–TOF). These studies focused both on class identification (specifically ethnicity, blood types, and Rh factor) and on individual identification. The obtained results support the possibility of future use of olfactory analysis of human body scent not only for forensic but also for medical purposes, for example.
