1 TO evolution The result of 35 years of development and application

2 2 THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS In 2010 the two most successful and well-known olfactometer manufacturers, ecoma and Odournet, merged with the aim to combine their experience and knowledge to focus on the development of the best and latest technologies for odour measurement The TO evolution and WiNose evolution LIMS are the results of this mission. They merge the best technology of the TOseries with the WiNose olfactometer LIMS software, which was designed specifically for odour laboratories. 2015

3 3 DEVELOPED BY EXPERTS FOR EXPERTS We consider ourselves not only manufacturers, but first and foremost daily users of the technology. This understanding allows us to focus on what really benefits you during your day-to-day operations in the odour laboratory. At the same time we continuously seek the opinions of our customers, as user feedback is essential for us to continuously improve our products. ergonomical easy to maintain As the supplier of more than 250 equipped laboratories in more than 40 countries, Odournet is your No.1 in odour measurement technology! With six accredited laboratories throughout Europe we fully understand the challenges faced by odour laboratories. Our goal is to give you the best support to be able to meet the constantly growing requirements for quality management and traceability. process optimizing

4 4 PLUG-AND-PLAY TECHNOLOGY The TO evolution allows for easy setup and is simple to maintain due to its new modular design; you can be assured of the reliability of our well-known robust equipment, manufactured in-house in Germany. 1. Removable and replaceable dilution unit The dilution unit is delivered as a compact mountable box, which you can quickly and easily slot into place. With this option, you can reduce your transportation costs when calibration or maintenance is required as you do not have to ship the entire olfactometer 2. Support bar with partition screens The support bar provides the foundation for the other elements of the TO evolution and contains the air distribution lines to the panel interface ports. The partition screens can be mounted within seconds. 3. Panel interface ports The panel interface ports can be equipped with two nose masks and have a high resolution touch screen interface which allows panellist feedback forms to be customised depending on the analytical method being used. Thanks to the easy click system, the panel interface ports are easily attached to the support bar. The hardware and software will detect the station automatically without the need for further programming.

5 5 STATE OF THE ART DILUTION SYSTEM The heart of the TO evolution 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. These technologies are already well-known from the TO8, the TO8s, the TO9 and the TO8-8 olfactometers. Developing a new motherboard and more powerful motors was the logical progression of the technology. At the same time, we focused on keeping the size of the dilution unit as compact as possible to allow for fast and efficient service at low transportation cost. With a new reverse flushing option the dilution system can also be flushed in reverse to remove even the smallest particles that could be blocking an orifice.

6 6 FLEXIBILITY AND SCALABILITY Based on our experience we know that different odour laboratories have different requirements for their olfactometer. The TO evolution is the first one-size-fits-all olfactometer in the world: Thanks to its modular design, the TO 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 2-station, 4-station or 6-station olfactometer. The TO evolution is designed for the following methods: Yes / No (EN 13725:2003) Dual Forced Choice (EN13725:2003) Triangular Forced Choice (ASTM 679) Intensity (VDI 3882 Part1) Hedonic Tone (VDI 3882 Part2)

7 7 FOCUS ON THE HUMAN SENSOR The TO evolution is the first ergonomically designed olfactometer which focuses on the main sensor in olfactometry: the human nose. Olfactometry is a human sensory measurement method in which the panellists play a central role. That is why our engineers have collaborated with professional industrial designers to focus on the interaction between man and machine. The result is an olfactometer which, through the selection of materials and colours, offers the panellists a distraction-free environment. The modern and contemporary design of the software allows for intuitive and easy operation. min. max. height These essential characteristics of the new TO evolution ensure that you can achieve best working conditions as described in the requirements of EN 13725:2003. 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 for right- and left-handed users.

8 8 TO EVOLUTION CONTROL SOFTWARE The TO evolution software package provides an olfactometer control software to support your laboratory in delivering odour measurements at the highest quality: The TO evolution control software supports all relevant standards such as EN 13725:2003, AS , ASTM 679, VDI 3882 Part 1 & Part 2. With its modern look and feel, and user friendly interface, the TO evolution software ensures fast and reliable measurements without overloading the user with operational information. Regardless of the level of experience of your operators, from the novice through to the highly experienced, the TO evolution software can give them the guidance and visual assistance that is needed to ensure measurements at the highest quality. Panellist interface - Dual Forced Choice How you benefit: Improved usability for operators through a state-of-the-art user interface Extended checkup features and test routines Real-time acquisition of data Integrated WiNose evolution LIMS interface ensures all results are instantly available in the LIMS and accessible to the users Direct transmission of results to the WiNose evolution LIMS reduces the steps in producing documentation, and avoids error-prone manual copying & pasting of data Keep the software up to date with the automated update mechanism (requires an active internet connection) Operator interface Panellist interface - Hedonic Tone

9 9 WINOSE EVOLUTION LIMS (LABORATORY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) The TO evolution software package provides a dedicated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for odour labs which supports your laboratory in the process of delivering odour measurements of the highest quality. Quality management and quality control is essential for any olfactometry lab. The WiNose evolution LIMS supports you in managing and controlling the quality of your measurements by providing many useful laboratory management tools. From qualifying your panel and keeping track of your lab performance, to managing reference gases, projects and clients, the WiNose evolution LIMS offers various options to support your day-to-day laboratory processes. Full traceability of changes made to the LIMS database allow for stress-free audits with accreditation bodies. Measurement overview LIMS - Panelist history Edit view

11 11 CUSTOMER-ORIENTED CALIBRATION Whenever a calibration or maintenance in accordance with ISO is required, the dilution unit can be easily and quickly removed from the support bar for transportation. A 4 ISO dedicated transport box ensures the safe shipment of the unit to the Odournet calibration laboratory. This also saves on the potential costs incurred on-site calibration by a calibration technician. If desired you can reserve a replacement unit for the duration of your calibration or maintenance which we send to you in advance, minimizing the downtime of your laboratory. 2 All dilution units are calibrated according to the requirements of ISO and provided with a certificate to demonstrate compliance to your accreditation body. Odournet is an accredited laboratory for measurement to ISO and we know that quality management is the key to success. 3
