Principle of operation

The GC-Olfactometry is in theory a simple method. At the end of a chromatographic column a split is installed and allows the sample to be splitted (e.g. 1:50) FID Detector/nose. The peak/odor impression correlation will then be performed by specialized fragrance chemists.

The Sniffer 9000 system is the best tool to get your GC-O run done. Ingenieria Analítica has been involved in GC-O for more than 25 years. We served some of the most recognized Fragrance and Flavor companies.

Technical description

As heart of the Sniffer 9000 technology is the dedicated GC/Olfactometer heated Interface. Ingenieria Analítica has over 25 years experience in implementing hyphenated techniques by using special designed interfaces. The Sniffer 9000 interface is engineered to transfer the high resolution available on capillary columns to the olfactometry "SniffingPort" air delivered by any Capillary column without loss of GC resolution and influence of oxidation or turbulence. Built as part of the current Sniffer 9000 System, the interface is manufactured from a single Stainless steel tube which is heated by direct current, thus giving the best possible temperature profile. The interface consists of a standard fused silica line resulting in an inert olfactometer interface. Engineered to combine hot column effluents with laminar streams of inert make-up gas generated by the Sniffer 9000 System and additional humidified air supply to deliver distinct odorants to humans subjects with minimum discomfort and maximum separation. Integrated into any GC System available on the market, IA’s Sniffing 9000 System is one of the most flexible GC/Olfactometer Systems available on the market. A special analog output allows the Sniffer 9000 to be connected to an additional Channel on an existing data system, or any integrator or recorder available in the lab, to record intensity via the integrated cursor wheel on the handheld Remote control unit.
