我们提供了详细的说明和部分选择的五通道空气稀释嗅觉仪的建设能够产生整洁的气味和二元混合物在一系列已知的浓度。嗅觉计的核心是气味剂罐,其(1)便宜且容易获得,(2)安全且耐用,(3)具有最小的气味粘附,(4)容易并入任何嗅觉计中,并且关键地(5)产生高度一致的刺激。通过使给定的载气以给定的流速流过该罐中的给定的添味剂,获得相同的最终蒸气。流量/浓度的结果提供了几种常用的气味在嗅觉。这将使研究人员能够产生已知的浓度,而无需昂贵的分析机器。(c)2006 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
We provide detailed instructions and part selections for construction of a five-channel air dilution olfactometer capable of generating neat odorants and binary mixtures at a range of known concentrations. At the heart of the olfactometer is an odorant canister that is (1) cheap and readily available, (2) safe and durable, (3) has minimal odor adherence, (4) is easily incorporated into any olfactometer, and critically (5) produces a highly consistent stimulus. By flowing a given carrier gas at a given flowrate through a given odorant in this canister, the same end-vapor is achieved. Flow/concentration outcomes are provided for several odorants routinely used in olfactometry. This toot will enable researchers to generate known concentrations without expensive analytical machinery. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
