In this paper we describe the development of a protein expression system for insect olfactory receptors in Sf9 cells, which will then be used as part of a surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based biomimetic sensor. Sf9 cells expressing olfactory receptors will be used as the biological component on dual SAW resonator devices, where one side of the device functions as a reference and accordingly is coated with non olfactory receptor-expressing cells
