Overview

The SK5 N-Butanol kit is the official odour expert test developed by Scentroid.

The Scentroid SK5 Sensitivity Kit is designed to provide accurate N-butanol mixtures of 5 to 50 ppm from a liquid N-butanol source. The N-butanol mixture can then be used to screen panellists using the Scentroid SM100 or any other Scentroid olfactometer in accordance with standard EN13725. The mixture is accurate and repeatable thanks to the fixed volume evaporation chamber, micro-litre syringe, and pre-purged Tedlar bag.

Every odour regulation requires the screening of the panellists using diluted N-butanol samples. Until now, the only available source of a diluted N-butanol sample was to purchase pre-mixed pressurized cylinders. The cylinders were cumbersome to transport, required a special permit and storage facility, and would only be accurate in dilution if shaken or rolled just before use. The Scentroid SK5 Sensitivity kit provides an easy and reliable solution for creating exact N-butanol samples that can be used for panellist screening. Liquid N-butanol is mixed with clean odourless air at a fixed ratio using a glass micro-syringe and a stainless steel evaporation chamber.

The N-butanol kit is easy to transport and store, does not have expiration issues, and allows variable concentration.

N-Butanol Basics of Operation:
  • Draw the required amount of liquid N-butanol according to the calibration chart
  • Inject the N-butanol into the evaporation chamber
  • Fill the evaporation chamber with odourless air from the SM100
  • Close the valve and wait for 15 minutes
  • Fill the 1L Tedlar bag
SK5 N-Butanol Kit

Each SK5 N-Butanol Kit contains:

  • Micro-syringe
  • PTFE sample bag
  • Stainless steel evaporation chamber
  • 1/4 fitting
  • PTFE tube
  • Hard carrying case

The terms assessor and panel member are used in the EN13725 standard. An assessor is a person who participates in odour measurements.  A panel member is an assessor who is qualified to judge odour samples in dynamic olfactometry.  An assessor is selected to be a panel member once a specific sensitivity range with respect to the reference odorant n-butanol is demonstrated. They must be able to detect N-butanol at 20 to 80 ppb, which is considered the “norm” of olfactory sensitivity.
