Prism electronics offers [cosmos model xa 329] odour level indicators for instant display of odour intensity. These instruments can be used to measure any smell or aroma that a human can sense. They utilise a highly sensitive sensor, with built-in micro pump for automatic sampling. The instruments are equipped with lcd display, peak-hold function and low battery alarm. They are ideal for a variety of applications, including checking the degradation of lubricating oil, transformer oil and edible oil. The odour level indicators are good alternatives to gas chromatography or mass spectrum since they are portable, battery-operated and can also measure odours at sensitivity of 10 ppb levels. One can detect and measure even the faintest traces of odour causing molecules in just seconds. The number of applications for these instruments is virtually unlimited and includes checking lingered smell, monitoring the degree of dryness of solvent, design and planning of flavours and fragrances, industrial odour emissions testing, monitoring freshness and quality of food [bread, fish, and cooked rice], chemical applications, environment uses, etc.
