SS400 Portable Olfactometer

The six-station SS400 portable olfactometer is an olfactometry device developed by Scentroid.

The Scentroid SS400 Six Station Portable Odour Lab is the world’s only portable six (6) panel olfactometer. The compact, flexible form allows for easy transportation and deployment. The connection between panellist stations and the central control pyramid allows the SS400 Six Station Portable Olfactometer to be set up to fit a table within any room layout. Full automation and data processing using Scentroid’s Laboratory Information Management software allows any laboratory to be easily certified to ISO17025. 

Scentroid Mobile Air Supplier:

The Scentroid Mobile Air Supply is designed to provide compressed air supply for a variety of Scentroid products out in the field. This is ideal due to the fact that it produces no oil in the airflow, and therefore can be used as an independent air supply when the oil in the airflow is often an issue. The compressed air from the tank is monitored from the pressure meter, and if it rises more to 8 bar (approximately 116 psi) the tank will automatically cut-off the pressure control switch. When the pressure inside the tank lowers to 6 bars (approximately 87 psi) then the power is turned back on. The compressed air is also passed through a cooling system to prevent overheating after prolonged use. Fans are used on either side of the container to ensure the passage of air, allowing the air supply to work while the lid is closed. A final gauge is used to regulate the airflow being used and is ideally set at 80 psi. The final step is to attach the product to the outlet and turn on the main switch.

• Conduct a hedonic tone (pleasant to unpleasant) assessment of odour emissions
• Conduct panellist training and N. Butanol screening
• Interface to Scentroid Laboratory Information Management Software
• Employ binary, triangular, yes/no, and direct presentation methods
  

SS400 Operation Instructions

1. Connect odour sample bag to the SS400 six-station portable olfactometer 
2. Using the admin tablet, start a new test
3. Scan the unique barcode on the sample
4. Select the number of panellists participating and the test type (yes/no, binary, or hedonic tone)
5. The system will conduct purging and assessments automatically
6. The panellist will be instructed to sniff and input their response using their dedicated tablets
