VOC emission test chamber with passive temperature control
The quality of indoor air is strongly influenced by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from materials and products, including construction and building products, such as adhesives, furniture, paints, and many more.
The Olfasense VOC emission test chamber with passive temperature control allows characterization of the emissions of volatile organic compounds from these materials under precise test conditions, and is fully compliant with the requirements of ISO 16000-9, EN 16516, EN 717-1, and GEV Testing Method.
The standard size of the chamber is 250l. Various other chamber volumes are optionally available.
Our chambers have been developed in close cooperation with experts from industry and research and can be used for a broad analytical performance spectrum via 4 sample ports.
The chamber is ready to be used in a temperature-controlled room under general indoor air conditions. If you are looking for a VOC emission test chamber with active temperature control and/or thermal desorption option, please check out our VOC emission test chamber with active temperature control.

Testimonials
We have been using Olfasense’s emission test chambers since market launch and we are very satisfied with both the product and the service. In our recent ISO 17025 accreditation audit, the installed emission test chambers have been successfully approved by the German accreditation body DAkkS, and are now included under the accreditation scope of Hohenstein Textile Testing Institute.

DSM Coating Resins makes products used in paints and lacquers, and is driven to low VOC emissions. For our VOC measurements, we have been using Olfasense’s EK250 emission test chamber for half a year now. We are very content with both the installation and the service of Olfasense. The EK250 is robust and easy in use and it meets our expectations as we are now fully compliant with the ISO 16000-9 standard.

For iLF Magdeburg GmbH, customer service comes first. We expect the same from our suppliers. In our view, Olfasense fulfills this in a first-class manner. The support and advice as well as the reliability of the Olfasense emission chambers are the decisive factors for us, which we will continue to rely on in future projects.
Dr. Ute Holzhausen, Head Materials Analysis at iLF Magdeburg GmbH
AIMPLAS decided to purchase the Olfasense emissions chamber because of its professionalism, its proximity and, above all, the knowledge it demonstrated of the requirements of automotive standards. Something very important for us. During the installation of the equipment, Olfasense helped the AIMPLAS staff to understand everything that is necessary for the correct functioning of the chamber, demonstrating once again their professionalism. Without a doubt, it was a good choice.

Our cooperation with Olfasense has started few years ago in area of odors. Since then, their equipment portfolio became wider and even more attractive for us. We are happy users of EK1000 materials emission testing chamber which strongly increased our capacity for emission testing with reducing the maintenance cost. Few issues have arisen since introduction however these were always solved asap. (…) The expertise, knowledge and flexibility make Olfasense really trustworthy partner not only equipment provider.
