The multi-channel Olfactometer provides fast and accurate odor delivery. It is a sophisticated tool enabling the assessment of activity in olfactory sensory neurons and the olfactory bulb. Our Olfactometer systems allow perfect control of multiple stimuli and of stimulus concentration as well as timing. The preparation of high quality odor mixtures is a complex process. With the automated Olfactometer and its software, this process becomes a standard laboratory routine. The Olfactometer can be used and integrated easily for the behavioural assessment of odor-detection and for odor discrimination behaviour. Multiple odor sources Fast switching of odor pulses High-pressure small diameter teflon tubing system Mass flow controllers for accurate and pulse free gas flow Concentration gradients and steps Training, two-odor, and multiple-odor discrimination tasks Olfactory stimulation with pure or mixed odours, concentration gradients For electrophysiology or imaging studies of olfactory quality coding, e.g., in combination with a virtual reality system Investigation of higher cognitive functions using odour Translational research: test routines for specific human disease models.
