MultiScent-20 descrition:
The Multiscent-20 is a portable tablet computer with an integrated hardware
system consisting of a central processing unit, touchscreen, Wi-Fi antenna, USB dock,
power supply, and rechargeable battery. Additionally, it contains an odour system
composed of 20 microcartridges, an air filter, a system that generates a dry air stream,
and an odour-dispensing opening. The device is capable of presenting 20 different
odours from individual odour capsules, which store the olfactory stimuli by incorporating
the odours into an oil-resistant polymer. The capsules are loaded through an insertion
port on the back of the device.
A software-controlled processing unit governs the flow of dry air, generating a
constant air stream that passes through the capsule, releasing individual odours
through a small opening at the upper front of the device. In this study, each scent was
presented for 5 seconds, with an interval of at least 6 seconds between odour
presentations. Each capsule contained 35 µL of oil-based odour solution, allowing the
device to maintain consistent odour intensity and identifiability for up to 100 activations,
as per the manufacturer's instructions. The Givaudan Flavours and Fragrance
Corporation (São Paulo, Brazil) prepared the odours used in the capsules.
A digital application (software) was developed to present odours and record
olfactory function test results. The device delivers odours through a dry air system,
leaving no residue in the environment or on users. Users can access the test using an
application on the device (screen version) or mobile phone. The results are accessible
through the integrated software, allowing for storage and analysis of the data.
