Sniff-0 multi-channel olfactometer in its rugged wheeled case

Experience the power of scent

Sniff-0: uncover the power of smell

Sniff-0 is an olfactometer with an innovative design, feature rich, multi-channel, high-speed, accurate and easily transportable in the form of a rugged wheeled suitcase. The number of channels can be customized according to your needs up to a maximum of 13 + 1 channels, while "tailor made" versions can also be created according to your needs.

  • Complete experiment control and advanced configuration capabilities to reduce configuration times and ensure maximum repeatability of experimental protocols

  • Compatible with the most common programming platforms and integrated digital input/output trigger channels

  • Elegant and portable rugged protective case to safeguard your equipment wherever you may want to use it

Spir-0 breathing cycle monitor with fiber optic sensor

Breathing cycle monitor

Spir-0: enhance breathing analysis

Spir-0 is a compact, easy-to-use breathing activity monitor with a fiber optic sensor compatible with MRI, fMRI, fNIRS and EEG environments. It accurately measures respiratory behavior by detecting air flow variations during breathing. The minimally invasive sensor requires placing a small optical fiber tube at the nostril entrance for automatic calibration and monitoring. Compatible with Sniff-0, it includes software to synchronize odor presentation with the breathing cycle.

  • Spir-0 uses a fiber optic sensor, making it compatible with MRI, fMRI, fNIRS and EEG environments and applications

  • The device accurately measures respiratory behavior, providing a detailed representation of the entire respiratory cycle

  • The sensor is minimally invasive, requiring only that a small optical fiber sensor (less than a millimeter in diameter) be positioned at the entrance of one nostril

Sniff-Exp independent gas source module

Independent gas sources

Sniff-Exp: expand your design flexibility

Sniff-Exp is an expansion of Sniff-0 that allows you to have two additional independent gas sources (air, CO2, etc). It also allows the use of larger external containers in which to place the odor source. With Sniff-Exp it is possible to use real foods, while maintaining total control over the quantity and timing of the delivered odor.

  • Sniff-Exp is fully integrated with Sniff-0 and extends its functionality

  • The device allows you to have two more independent gas sources and use real odor source (e.g. food items)

  • Elegant and portable rugged protective case to safeguard your equipment while taking it wherever you may want to use it

Sniff-Lab modular olfactometer with expandable channel racks

Maximum flexibility – maximum scalability

Sniff-Lab: flexible olfactory research

Sniff-Lab is a modular olfactometer designed for researchers working with humans and animals. Easily scalable from 24 to 96+ odors, it features intuitive programming and easy maintenance to minimize contamination risks. Discover unmatched flexibility and precision in olfactory research with Sniff-Lab.

  • With Sniff-Lab's expandable design, researchers can now conduct studies using a previously unavailable number of odor stimuli, pushing olfactory research boundaries

  • Sniff-Lab features an extensive API that makes programming easy from virtually any programming language, giving researchers full control and flexibility to tailor olfactory experiments to their needs

  • Sniff-Lab's innovative PTFE-based design ensures easy maintenance, providing researchers with reliable, clean, and consistent olfactory stimulus delivery for every experiment

Response Box 2.0 programmable response measurement device

Precise synchronization

Response Box 2.0: open, flexible, and future-proof

The new Response Box 2.0 is now programmable with MicroPython, making protocol design effortless and delivering millisecond precision. Detect visual stimuli onset with screen sensors, capture responses with modular pads, buttons or force sensors, and synchronize via TTL I/O channels with olfactometers, EEG, TMS, fNIRS and many other external devices for robust, real-time experiments.

  • MicroPython programming streamlines research, letting scientists focus on protocols while ensuring reaction time precision far beyond standard PCs

  • The new Response Box ensures simple, effective synchronization with EEG recording systems and other devices through its precise trigger input and output capabilities

  • With the ability to handle multiple digital on/off pads and force sensor options, the Response Box offers maximum flexibility to suit any experimental response measurement needs

Diffuser programmable scent delivery device

XR and multisensory experiences made easy

Diffuser: programmable scent for any kind of experience

Add the sense of smell wherever it makes a difference. Diffuser releases precisely timed odors under full software control, and the same hardware serves immersive VR and XR environments, perfumery and fragrance design, museum and retail installations, relaxation and wellbeing settings, and training simulators. One instrument, one API, and a workflow that adapts to your application rather than the other way round.

  • One documented API drives Diffuser from whatever you already build in Unity, Unreal, Python, C#, C++. No proprietary authoring software: odors are triggered from your own application logic

  • Independent channels can be combined and precisely timed to create scent blends, layered accords, and complex multi-step experiences. Intensity and timing can be adjusted in real time to match the application's needs

  • Controlled stimulus onset and offset deliver each stimulus exactly when intended, identically across sessions and installations, essential when an experience runs hundreds of times or must hold up experimentally

Flex-I modular behavioural research platform

Behavioural setup by researchers, for researchers

Flex-I: one platform, infinite configurations

Enable sophisticated behavioural paradigms with unprecedented flexibility: easily combine olfactory, auditory and visual stimuli with sensors and neuronal recording and imaging. Fully customizable and compatible with Bonsai, Python, Matlab, and LabVIEW for flexible experiment control.

  • Flex-I's modular architecture enables fully customized behavioural setups. Components can be easily added, reused, and reconfigured as experimental needs evolve, eliminating the need for costly redesigns

  • Designed for maximum flexibility and control, Flex-I combines rapid configuration and plug-and-play operation with advanced customization options for sophisticated behavioural paradigms

  • Industrial-grade hardware ensures millisecond timing accuracy, stable operation, and reproducible results. Multiple expansion ports support seamless integration of standard and custom modules, sensors, and recording systems
