Sniffer Phaser
The human nose is an incredible detector for aroma/mal-odor components. Gas Chromatography Olfactometry (GC/O) is a bioassay that measures human response to odorants separated by gas chromatography. The superior sensitivity and selectivity of human olfaction make GC/O a powerful and meaningful tool for flavor chemistry. Besides providing data about the potency of odorants extracted and separated for samples, GC/O can also be used to study variation in human olfaction or provide testing and training of panelists used in sensory testing.
At its best, GC-O, provides industry with a link between chemical data collected from ingredients or products and the sensory and consumer preference data collected from the market place. At the very least GC-O data derived from a product can be used for quality control or the development of value added products.
- No cold spot gives the possibility to sniff the high boiling compounds.
- Maximum 300°C on the transfer line.
- Protects your nose from drying by adding moist air to sniffing port.
- Easy to connect the capillary column to the splitter.
- Sitting down or standing up while sniffing.
- Compact and easy to install on any GC instrument.
Software
Standard with all PHASERS a calculation program (splitManager) is supplied to make the correct capillary tubing´s in order to have a good split ratio between the nose and detector. The Olfactory Voicegram is an option and is not supplied with all units.
Olfactory Voicegram features:
- Voice recognition
- Voice recording and replay function on each peak
- Clickable aroma palette (configured by the user)
