Product Details
The Y-Tube Olfactometer – Stem (L360mm, Ø50mm) | Arms (L180mm, Ø30mm) is a high-precision laboratory instrument developed for entomology research and insect behavioral analysis. This Y-shaped glass apparatus allows insects to choose between two distinct odor streams, enabling researchers to study attraction, repellency, and olfactory preferences with high accuracy.
Manufactured from high-clarity, chemically resistant borosilicate glass, the olfactometer ensures durability and contamination-free experimentation. The 360 mm stem length with a 50 mm diameter provides a stable pathway for controlled airflow, while the two 180 mm arms (30 mm diameter) ensure balanced and uniform odor distribution.
The design is optimized to maintain laminar airflow and minimize turbulence, which is essential for obtaining reliable and reproducible behavioral responses. Its transparent construction allows clear observation of insect movement throughout the experiment.
This olfactometer is ideal for integration with air compressors, airflow controllers, charcoal filters, and humidification systems, forming a complete olfactory testing setup.
Widely used in:
- Mosquito repellency and attractant evaluation
- Insect behavioral and olfactory response studies
- Vector-host interaction research
- Pest management and agricultural research
- Entomology and environmental laboratories
The ergonomic and modular design ensures easy cleaning, setup, and compatibility with laboratory airflow systems, making it a reliable tool for controlled olfactory experiments.
