Y Type Insect Olfactometer
Working Principle of Insect Olfactometer
1. Different insect like different gas smell, so if there’s many different activity room passageway and put different smell source, insect will climb towards the smell source which it like, then we could observe insects’ behavior and finally know every insects’ smell performance, understand insects’ life habit.
2. Adopt imported tasteless and Teflon PE material, once molding activity room which is clean and smooth, the sealing performance of thickening organic glass lid is good.
3. Smell hole could be one,two or many, generally divided into Y type olfactometer,four arms olfactometer,six arms olfactometer , and also could design many insect passageways according to customers’ requirement, specifically designed for the study of insect behavior observation and insect smell observation.

Principle
Since different insects prefer to different odors, so when connect different odor-sources at every end, insects will creep to the end which has their preferred odor. From the experiment people can learn about olfactory performances of variety kinds of insects.
Features of Y-olfactometer
Y-olfactometer is made of thicken transparent plexiglass and Teflon material, it is designed for the purposes of insect olfactory’s study. One-step forming and well sealing, and could be order multiple pumping holes / multiple insect channels.
