The Y-Tube Olfactometer for Medium Claw-Legged Insects with SS Mesh is a precision laboratory instrument developed for entomological research involving insects with clawed or gripping legs, such as beetles, ticks, mites, and other crawling species. Smooth glass surfaces in standard olfactometers can restrict movement, leading to inconsistent behavioral responses. This model addresses that limitation by incorporating an internal stainless steel (SS) mesh, which provides a textured walking surface and significantly improves insect mobility and response accuracy.

The Y-shaped design allows insects to be introduced through the central stem and choose between two arms carrying different odor stimuli. This setup is widely used to evaluate attraction, repellency, and olfactory preference under controlled airflow conditions.

Constructed from high-quality borosilicate glass, the olfactometer ensures excellent transparency, durability, and resistance to chemical exposure. The internal geometry supports uniform airflow with minimal turbulence, ensuring consistent odor delivery and reproducible experimental results.

Multiple variants are available to accommodate different insect sizes and experimental requirements. Medium diameters provide a balance between airflow stability and insect mobility, while variations in arm length allow extended observation and improved behavioral tracking.

The transparent construction enables clear observation of insect movement, and the design integrates seamlessly with air compressors, airflow controllers, charcoal filters, and humidifier systems, forming a complete olfactometer setup.
