TO9 evolution olfactometer

The TO9 evolution olfactometer has all the functionality of the TO8 evolution, 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.

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 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.

TO9 evolution control software

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.

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)

WiNose LIMS - Your new odour laboratory management assistant

The TO evolution software package provides a dedicated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for odour labs which supports your laboratory in the process of delivering odour measurements of the highest quality.
