Olfactometer
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-008212
An instrument designed to present controlled concentrations of odorants to a subject for the purpose of measuring olfactory perception. This device allows for precise control over the flow rate, temperature, and humidity of the odorant-containing air. Olfactometers are used in research to determine odor thresholds and assess olfactory function.
