Sniff-Nano | Olfactometer

Recent and constant problems generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus are demanding newer and cheaper options for evaluating olfactory performance and recognising loss of smell (anosmia). From the experience gained with Sniff-0, a laboratory instrument for olfactory experiments, we have developed Sniff-nano, a very compact olfactometer for medical olfactory purposes. This configurable unit can operate as a standalone device to allow the implementation of olfactory experimental protocols, including those that require interaction with the test subject (e.g. via touch screen or audible outputs) for an automated and loggable process. Precise and calibrated quantities of odours and constant flow carried by a straw or a nasal cannula, avoids any spread of breath droplets in the environment.
