TO8 evolution olfactometer
The TO8 evolution olfactometer combines the latest scientific and technological advances with decades of practical experience – enabling us to set new benchmarks in the field of olfactometry.
The compact size and transportability of this olfactometer model mean you can use it equally as a home-based laboratory, as well as a mobile on-site laboratory to keep sample storage time to a minimum, increase flexibility, and offer quicker reporting.
The TO8 evolution olfactometer allows for easy setup and is simple to maintain. You can be assured of the reliability of our well-known robust equipment, manufactured in-house in Germany. The heart of the TO8 evolution olfactometer is the ultra-modern and purpose-designed dilution system, which is based on the proven principle of combining gas jet pumps and fixed sapphire orifices.
The olfactometer 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 new WiNose LIMS supports odour laboratories in fulfilling quality management procedures and in increasing efficiency in day-to-day lab operation by managing equipment, samples, measurement results, and panel data in a central location.
The TO8 evolution olfactometer is available as 4-station or 6-station olfactometer and meets all requirements of EN 13725:2022.

Based on our experience we know that different odour laboratories have different requirements for their olfactometer. Thanks to its modular design, the TO8 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 4-station or 6-station olfactometer.
The TO8 evolution is an ergonomically designed olfactometer that focuses on the main sensor in olfactometry: the human nose. Our engineers have collaborated with professional industrial designers to focus on the interaction between man and machine. 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 right- and left-handed users.
Testimonials
Exceptionally user-friendly equipment with exceptional software and associated LIMS system. The after sales support has been second to none.
Mark McGarry, Managing Director at AXIS Environmental Services
We hereby would like to express our sincere gratitude to Olfasense GmbH for their contribution and overall provided assistance, continuous effort and technical guidance & expertise in the process of extending the scope of our EN 17025:2017 laboratory to odour concentration determination by Dynamic Olfactometry, according to EN 13725:2022 standard, with excellent results. We were lucky to get our hands on superior quality products, receive extensive training programs and compete in proficiency testing while feeling a part of a big family. The professionalism and supportive mentality of Olfasense GmbH made this quest an enjoyable and easy-going experience that will drive us through the future with confidence and passion for what is coming!
Apostolos Angelis, Head of Olfactometry Dpt. at ENVIROMETRICS S.A.
Our cooperation with Olfasense (operating under the name Ecoma at that time) began between 2005-2006 when we acquired our first olfactometer TO-8 in Estonia. Since then, we have continuously utilized Olfasense products and services, and what has intrigued us the most in our collaboration is the company’s precision, diligence, and willingness to assist in resolving various issues. Today, we continue our cooperation with Olfasense, and among other things, we acquired a new olfactometer TO-9 in 2020, with which we are very satisfied. The only thing that “old sniffers” occasionally miss is the TO-8 olfactometer’s flexible push buttons 🙂 Every new thing requires adaptation, and fortunately, a new generation is growing up at the Estonian Environmental Research Centre air lab, who are even more enthusiastic about operating in the field of odor assessment. At the moment, we can state that the field of odor assessment has been one of the most steadily growing services in our air lab. We hope to further enhance the quality of this service in collaboration with Olfasense and be prepared for possible innovations in the process of odor assessment!
Marek Maasikmets; Estonian Environmental Research Centre
Our experience with Olfasense has been very pleasant from the beginning. We have been fully trusting their advice and equipment to measure odours for 5 years. Their TO8 evolution olfactometer was perfectly adapted to our ISO 17025: 2017 management system, improving the quality of the results of our laboratory located in Chile.
Miguel Gatica, Deputy Manager Odour Engineering; Proterm S.A.
From SGS we want to congratulate Olfasense on the quality of its equipment and thank the technical support for the development of our odour test service. Its constant support over more than 10 years of collaboration has been a key aspect to position ourselves as a reference laboratory in Spain and offer the maximum guarantees to our customers. Relying on Olfasense is a sign of having quality equipment and exceptional staff.

Installation Video
In our installation video, you will learn how easily you can unpack, set up, and put our TO8 / TO9 evolution olfactometers into operation – quickly and all by yourself.
Especially in the current corona pandemic, traveling is difficult and sometimes only possible involving a lot of effort. It is therefore important to us that you can put your new olfactometer into operation without an Olfasense employee on-site.
At the same time, our experts will support you with subsequent training on the olfactometer control software and the WiNose LIMS via TeamViewer and Skype, so you can enjoy a comparable feeling of on-site support.
