Online StoreSt. Croix Sensory’s online store for Nasal Ranger accessories, sampling equipment and supplies and Odofin sensory testing kits.
St. Croix Sensory is proud to offer the olfasense line of olfactometers to North America. The olfasense TO series olfactometers are used by over 325 laboratories worldwide.
The TO-Evolution is the latest generation of olfactometer from olfasense. This innovative, modular design allows for scalability from 2 to 6 stations, while keeping the dilution system in a compact, serviceable unit. The TO-Evolution can operate in all commonly used standards of olfactometry, including Yes/No (EN13725), Dual Forced-Choice (EN13725) and Triangular Forced-Choice (EN13725 & ASTM E679).
TO-Evolution’s modular design allows for the laboratory to adapt the system to 2, 4, or 6 sniffing stations.
Programmed to operate under multiple testing modes that meet EN13725 and ASTM Standards.

4 Station: 54″ (1370 mm)
6 Station: 77″ (1965 mm)
Weight: 2 Station: 63.3 lb (28.7 kg)
4 Station: 95.0 lb (43.1 kg)
6 Station: 130 lb (57.5 kg)
Sniff Ports: Multi-station (2, 4, or 6 stations), single sniffing port for TFC and Yes/No.

Q: What dilution technology is used?
The TO-Evolution uses proprietary technology, using calibrated restrictions, minimizing internal volume and providing ultra fast response in dilution changes.
Q: What air system is used?
An air compressor system is needed to provide the dilution air for the olfactometer. Size of the compressor system will depend on the number of sniffing stations.
Q: How much sample volume is required?
In normal operation, the olfactometer needs 8-10 Liters of sample. For a 6-station dual-forced-choice with a presentation time of 15-seconds per dilution step for each assessor, it can be necessary to use a higher sample volume for low odour concentration samples.
The conversation about air quality in Spain has taken an unexpected and refreshingly human turn. Instead of focusing solely on regulatory limits and mathematical dispersion models, Spain is increasingly asking a simpler question: What does the air actually smell like where people live?
