TO evolution olfactometer

The 6-station TO evolution stationary olfactometer combines the latest scientific and technological advances with decades of practical experience – enabling us to set new benchmarks in the field of olfactometry.

The TO evolution olfactometer allows for easy setup and is simple to maintain due to its new modular design. You can be assured of the reliability of our well-known robust equipment, manufactured in-house in Germany. The heart of the TO evolution olfactometer is the ultra-modern and purpose designed dilution system, which is based on the proven principle of combining gas jet pumps and fixed sapphire orifices.

The TO evolution software package provides an olfactometer control software to support your laboratory in delivering odour measurements at the highest quality; as well as a state of the art Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) which has been specifically designed to meet the needs of odour laboratories.

Testimonials

The TO evolution olfactometer and the services offered by Olfasense for the maintenance and calibration of this equipment enable us to offer our customers a high quality service (accuracy, repeatability and speed of analysis) to the highest international standards. We particularly appreciated the possibility of shipping Olfasense our dilution unit for the annual accredited calibration. By planning this operation, it did not affect the productivity of the laboratory. We have had the pleasure to obtain our accreditation according to ISO 17025 with our new equipment which has met all the expectations of the evaluators of the BELAC (design, calibration, data protection, stability, precision, reliability …).
Loïc Raymond, Technical Manager for odours and gas chemistry at Odometric

Odournet UK Ltd purchased two TO evolution olfactometers in 2015 and 2016, from Olfasense GmbH. Olfasense have provided a great service, with efficient supply and installation of our olfactometers and knowledgeable, friendly support whenever we’ve needed it. We were quickly able to integrate these olfactometers into our long-standing UKAS accreditation. We have always been very confident in this technology, but have recently received the results of the worldwide interlaboratory comparison that we participated in, earlier in 2016, and are exceptionally happy with our achievement using the TO evolution olfactometers. We were within the top 3 places, for accuracy, out of 36 participating similar odour labs!
Lucy Sutton, Quality Manager at Odournet UK Ltd

We wish to thank Olfasense GmbH for the services the Company provided in the start-up of our Dynamic Olfactometry Laboratory, the first installed in Central ltaly. Olfasense GmbH took care to build up the system and the equipment was set up successfully. At present, our Dynamic Olfactometry Laboratory has already qualified a significant number of panel members and it’s fully operational. The annual internal audit was carried out by the University of Perugia in February 2017 and the auditors really appreciated the olfactometer (audit report conclusions: “The organization shows a good level of dynamism regarding the ability to seize business opportunities in the economic environment in which it operates, as evidenced by the opening of a new laboratory for the measurement of the concentration of odour substances in the air (Dynamic Olfactometry)”). Olfasense also organized a very effective theoretical and practical training about EN 13725, performing sampling, panel selection, and measurements.
