The Y-Tube Olfactometer – Stem (L120mm, Ø25mm) | Arms (L80mm, Ø25mm) is a laboratory-grade instrument designed for entomological research and controlled olfactory experiments. Its dimensions are optimized for medium airflow systems, providing a balance between airflow stability and insect mobility for accurate behavioral analysis.
Constructed from high-quality borosilicate glass, the olfactometer ensures excellent transparency, durability, and resistance to chemical exposure. The 120 mm stem (Ø25 mm) acts as the primary airflow entry, while the two 80 mm arms (Ø25 mm) ensure equal distribution of odor streams.
The design promotes uniform airflow with minimal turbulence, enabling consistent and reproducible experimental results. Its transparent structure allows clear observation of insect movement, while the ergonomic configuration supports easy integration with air compressors, airflow controllers, filters, and humidification systems.
