In 2010 the two most successful and well-known olfactometermanufacturers, ecoma and Odournet, merged with the aim to combine their experience and knowledge to focus on the development of the best and latest technologies for odour measurement.
The TO evolution and WiNose evolution LIMS are the results of this mission. They merge the best technology of the TO-series with the WiNose olfactometer LIMS software, which was designed specifi cally for odour laboratories.
easy to maintain
process optimizing ergonomical
We consider ourselves not only manufacturers, but fi rst and foremost daily users of the technology. This understanding allows us to focus on what really benefi ts you during your day-to-day operations in the odour laboratory. At the same time we continuously seek the opinions of our customers, as user feedback is essential for us to continuously improve our products.
As the supplier of more than 250 equipped laboratories in more than 40 countries, Odournet is your No.1 in odour measurement technology!
With six accredited laboratories throughout Europe we fully understand the challenges faced by odour laboratories. Our goal is to give you the best support to be able to meet the constantly growing requirements for quality management and traceability.
1. Removable and replaceable dilution unit
The dilution unit is delivered as a compact mountable box, which you can quickly and easily slot into place. With this option, you can reduce your transportation costs when calibration or maintenance is required as you do not have to ship the entire olfactometer The TO evolution 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.
2. Support bar with partition screens
The support bar provides the foundation for the other elements of the TO evolution and contains the air distribution lines to the panel interface ports. The partition screens can be mounted within seconds.
3. Panel interface ports
The panel interface ports can be equipped with two nose masks and have a high resolution touch screen interface which allows panellist feedback forms to be customised depending on the analytical method being used. Thanks to the “easy click” system, the panel interface ports are easily attached to the support bar. The hardware and software will detect the station automatically without the need for further programming.
The heart of the TO evolution is the ultra-modern and purpose designed dilution system, which is based on the proven principle of combining gas jet pumps and fi xed sapphire orifi ces.
These technologies are already well-known from the TO8, the TO8s, the TO9 and the TO8-8 olfactometers. Developing a new motherboard and more powerful motors was the logical progression of the technology. At the same time, we focused on keeping the size of the dilution unit as compact as possible to allow for fast and effi cient service at low transportation cost. With a new reverse fl ushing option the dilution system can also be fl ushed in reverse to remove even the smallest particles that could be blocking an orifi ce.
Based on our experience we know that diff erent odour
laboratories have diff erent requirements for their olfactometer. The TO evolution is the fi rst “one-size-fi ts-all” olfactometer in the world:
Thanks to its modular design, the TO evolution is scalable for up to 6 panellist stations. You can decide for yourself which is most suitable for your requirements; whether it’s a 2-station, 4-station or 6-station olfactometer.
The TO evolution is designed for the following methods:
Yes / No (EN 13725:2003)
Dual Forced Choice (EN13725:2003) Triangular Forced Choice (ASTM 679) Intensity (VDI 3882 Part1)
Hedonic Tone (VDI 3882 Part2)
The TO evolution is the fi rst ergonomically designed olfactometer which focuses on the main sensor in olfactometry: the human nose. Olfactometry is a human sensory measurement method in which the panellists play a central role. That is why our engineers have collaborated with professional industrial designers to focus on the interaction between man and machine. The result is an olfactometer which, through the selection of materials and colours, off ers the panellists a distraction-free environment. The modern and contemporary design of the software allows for intuitive and easy operation.
These essential characteristics of the new TO evolution ensure that you can achieve best working conditions as described in the requirements of EN 13725:2003.
max. height min.
FOCUS ON THE HUMAN SENSOR
The height-adjustable nose masks allow the panellists to always sit in the optimal upright position, regardless of how tall they are. The centrally-located touch screen is easily accessible and suitable for both for right- and left-handed users.
The TO evolution software package provides 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.

4 ISO 17025
Whenever a calibration or maintenance in accordance with ISO 17025 is required, the dilution unit can be easily and quickly removed from the support bar for transportation. A dedicated transport box ensures the safe shipment of the unit to the Odournet calibration laboratory. This also saves on the potential costs incurred on-site calibration by a calibration technician.
If desired you can reserve a replacement unit for the duration of your calibration or maintenance which we send to you in advance, minimizing the downtime of your laboratory. All dilution units are calibrated according to the requirements of ISO 17025 and provided with a certifi cate to demonstrate compliance to your accreditation body. Odournet is an accredited laboratory for measurement to ISO 17025 and we know that quality management is the key to success.
