TO8 evolution olfactometer

The TO8 evolution olfactometer combines the advantages of the popular TO8 olfactometer and sophisticated TO evolution olfactometers.

The new WiNose laboratory information management system (LIMS) supports odour laboratories in fulfilling quality management procedures and to increase efficiency in day-to-day lab operation by managing equipment, samples, measurement results and panel data in a central location.

The compact size and transportability of this olfactometer model means you can use it equally as a home-based laboratory, as well as a mobile on-site laboratory to keep sample storage time to a minimum, to increase flexibility and to offer quicker reporting.

The TO8 evolution olfactometer meets all requirements of EN 13725:2003.

TO8 evolution control software

The TO evolution software package comes also with an olfactometer control software to support your laboratory in delivering odour measurements at the highest quality.

The TO evolution control software supports all relevant standards such as EN 13725:2003, AS 4323.1, ASTM 679, VDI 3882 Part 1 & Part 2. With its modern look and feel, and user friendly interface, the TO evolution software ensures fast and reliable measurements without overloading the user with operational information. Regardless of the level of experience of your operators, from the novice through to the highly experienced, the TO evolution software can give them the guidance and visual assistance that is needed to ensure measurements at the highest quality.

Improved usability for operators through a state-of-the-art user interface
Extended checkup features and test routines
Real-time acquisition of data
Integrated WiNose evolution LIMS interface ensures all results are instantly available in the LIMS and accessible to the users
Direct transmission of results to the WiNose evolution LIMS reduces the steps in producing documentation, and avoids error-prone manual copying & pasting of data
Keep the software up to date with the automated update mechanism (requires an active internet connection)

Installation Video

In our installation video, you will learn how easily you can unpack, set up, and put our TO8 / TO9 evolution olfactometers into operation – quickly and all by yourself.

Especially in the current corona pandemic, traveling is difficult and sometimes only possible involving a lot of effort. It is therefore important to us that you can put your new olfactometer into operation without an Olfasense employee on-site.

At the same time, our experts will support you with subsequent training on the olfactometer control software and the WiNose LIMS via TeamViewer and Skype, so you can enjoy a comparable feeling of on-site support.
