BIOASSAY:   Y-TUBE OLFACTOMETER PRICING

All of ARS's bio-assay Y-Tube Olfactometers are chemically inert and made from clear borosilicate (Pyrex@) glass, and has the basic shape of a " Y ",  with the single main stem being 60% longer than the two side branches which are joined at 90 degrees at the intersection.

THE OLFACTOMETER CONSISTS OF 3 MAIN PARTS:

(1)   One Y-Tube Body (YT)

Which uses (3) standard-taper female ground-glass joints at each end to allow quick connection & removal of the other components.

There are several different size internal diameters (ID) of Y-Tubes  which are based on the size of the standard-taper ground joint used.

(2)   Two Odor Source Adapters ( IO or XO )

(Which can be either INTERNAL (IO) or EXTERNAL (XO) Odor Source Adapters)

The Internal Odor Source (IO) adapter connects directly to the Y-Tube using a male joint and has a 4" long internal cavity for odor sources. The External Odor Source (XO) adapter is used to connect the Y-Tube to a larger external odor source chamber using tubing.

(3)   One Insect Inlet Adapter (IN)

Is a small (cage 3" long) straight glass adapter with a standard-taper male joint on one end and a metal screen sealed in the other end. It serves as a small "cage" to pick up insects and insert them into the main stem of the Y-tube.  Air flows straight through this adapter.

AIR DELIVERY SYSTEMS (ADS)

for Y- & U-Tube Olfactometers

These instruments are used to deliver precise quantities of purified air to your olfactometer components.

Part Number

Description

Single Y-Tube Air Delivery System

2 port, Non-Humidified Air Delivery System (turn-key system) for purifying

(1 hydrocarbon filter), regulating air pressure, and precisely controlling air flows delivered to 2 separate outlets (1 Y-tube Olfactometer or 2-separate Chambers).  System requires any air supply source (tank, compressor, house air).

Same as above except with Plastic Flowmeters

Dual Y-Tube Air Delivery System

Complete 4 port, Non-Humidified Air Delivery System (ADS) for purifying

(2 hydrocarbon filters), regulating air pressure, and precisely controlling air flows delivered to 4 separate outlets (2 Y-tube Olfactometers or  4-separate chambers).  System requires 50 psi from any air source (tank, compressor, house air).

Same as above except with Plastic Flowmeters

Tri Y-Tube Air Delivery System

Complete 6 port, Non-Humidified Air Delivery System (ADS) for purifying

(3 hydrocarbon filters), regulating air pressure, and precisely controlling air flows delivered to 6 separate outlets (3 Y-tube Olfactometers or  6-separate chambers).  System requires 50 psi from any air source (tank, compressor, house air).

Same as above except with Plastic Flowmeters

Quad Y-Tube Air Delivery System

Complete 8 port, Non-Humidified Air Delivery System (ADS) for purifying

(4 hydrocarbon filters), regulating air pressure, and precisely controlling air flows delivered to 4 separate outlets (4 Y-tube Olfactometers or  8-separate chambers).  System requires 50 psi from any air source (tank, compressor, house air).

Same as above except with Plastic Flowmeter

Five Y-Tube Air Delivery System

Complete 10 port, Non-Humidified Air Delivery System (ADS) for purifying

(5 hydrocarbon filters), regulating air pressure, and precisely controlling air flows delivered to 10 separate outlets (5 Y-tube Olfactometers / 10-separate chambers)  System requires 50 psi from any air source (tank, compressor, house air).

Same as above except with Plastic Flowmeter

Add one glass ARS standard gas bubbler (humidifier) to convert each single (1) output to a “Humidified” Air Delivery System Output (A complete HADS requires one (1) bubbler per each output or flowmeter)

These individual components may be used to build a "complete system" yourself or replace parts on existing systems
