TO9 evolution olfactometer

The TO9 evolution olfactometer has all the functionality of the TO8 evolution olfactometer, plus the dual-forced choice method.

The maximum dilution increases to 2¹⁷ allowing you to measure samples of higher odour concentrations than is possible with the TO8 evolution olfactometer.

Just as the TO8 evolution, this olfactometer can be used 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 provided WiNose evolution LIMS ensures best quality at all odour measurement sites, by supporting you in fulfilling essential quality management and quality control procedures in your day-to-day lab operation and audit preparation.
