  1. An individual volunteer (#) in the table represents one scent sample that was split into three fractions (F1–F3) by the GC-PFC. A plus (+) means that the fraction was identified by the trained canine, a minus (−) means the fraction was unidentified, and the results of the three trials are shown for each line-up. The letters (A, B, C, D, E, F) with the numbers (3–7) in parentheses denote the individual canines with their corresponding line-up experience (from 3 to 7 years), respectively
