Automate Evaporation for Oil & Grease Analysis
The last step in modern gravimetric analysis of Oil & Grease samples is evaporation of the n-hexane solvent from the extract to isolate the material to be measured.
This can be done off-line to maximise productivity and minimise the chance for cross contamination with the next batch of samples.
The Speed-Vap III from Horizon Technology (USA) incorporates a vortex airflow, vacuum, and precise temperature control to provide quality evaporation with the best speed.
The Speed-Vap III System features: Bench-top operation to free up valuable hood space; Controlled evaporation for easy, reliable gravimetric results; Reduced exposure to hazardous solvents; Cuts evaporation times in half for increased lab productivity.

Petrotest (Germany), who are well-known for their Rapid Small Scale Oxidation Tester (RSSOT) PetroOxy, was acquired by the Austrian instrument manufacturer Anton Paar in 2012. Starting in July 2013, the blue of Petrotest’s logo and corporate design is gradually making way for Anton Paar’s red and silver. And this is not the only change for Petrotest customers. In future they will profit from Anton Paar’s first-class service and support.
Petrotest customers will now benefit from Anton Paar's high-quality service and support. With Anton Paar’s dense network of sales partners and 20 subsidiaries around the world, customers are close to an experienced local team which speaks their language and provides service, application support and training without delay. All Anton Paar service engineers are trained and authorised by Anton Paar and use only certified test equipment to check and adjust the instruments so that the highest level of accuracy is guaranteed. As part of after-sales service, Anton Paar’s sales network provides on-site product training, customer-specific seminars and the provision of certified reference materials and maintenance contracts. For the lifetime of the instrument, experts are available to help with application support and method development.
To welcome former Petrotest customers to the Anton Paar Group, Anton Paar is offering a free one-off calibration and maintenance for former Petrotest instruments currently in the product range and earlier product versions of these instruments. This includes: Safety inspection; Full functional check; Firmware and software update, if available and requested; Full documentation of instrument data before and after service; Either on-site or depot-based service for minimal downtime.
This offer is for a one-off calibration and maintenance and is valid until March 31, 2014.

The JFTOT, Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester, of PAC/Alcor is a brilliant device for tracking the amount of contaminations in jet fuel. But this device can only work properly if its test performance is validated frequently. E.L.S., European Lab Services (Belgium), provides a trustworthy verification and verification program according to ISO 17025 accreditation.
E.L.S. makes sure every step of the ASTM D3241 has been checked thoroughly before their job is done. This ASTM method, specifically for the JFTOT device, describes internal calibration of the temperature sensor on 3 points with standards, verification of pump speed, verification and control of the differential pressure, volume verification, programming of the offsets, testing of a reference product, etc.
Every step of the process will be checked and the apparatus will be ready to use with the proper certification. With 25 years of experience and the unique ISO 17025 accreditation, E.L.S. is the only company in the world that provides the correct testing procedure for the JFTOT device.

Need Automatic Atmospheric Distillation to ASTM D86
Orbis bv (Netherlands) now offers the latest development to comply with the ASTM D86 method for automated atmospheric distillation for the distillation range of 0 – 400 °C ASTM-0-450 °C.
After 30 years of research, development and production of innovative laboratory instruments for the petroleum industry Orbis has introduced the PAM v2 unit, superseding the previous instruments for meeting ASTM D86.

PAM v2 saves you time by using Orbis’ automatic ‘inheat’ feature for unknown samples, or heavy oils. The unit will automatically heat the sample to the correct temperature level. This unit includes a unique and revolutionary ‘Volume-Scan System. This automatically measures the true recovered volume at the bottom line of the menisci, thus eliminating errors in volume measurement.
Green Photonics NIR Lasers: 1.3 µm to 2.3 µm
Another innovation for the PAM v2 is Orbis’ new temperature probe. The ‘Auto-Cal Probe’ is detected automatically by PAMv2 and given a unique ID number, so the user can be certain of the measurement taken, without having to carry out any tasks leading to possible errors.
This instrument includes automatic calibration of the volume measurement system before each distillation is carried out, as well as automatic residue determination and automatic final heat adjustment, making the PAMv2 quicker, easier to use and more efficient

• Wide turnability and precision for ppm or ppb sensitivity
• Low power dissipation enables cost effective handheld applications
• Applications for industrial and Safety, Medical, Environmental and Agriculture, Automative
• HF, H2O, H2S, HCI, CO, CO2, NH3, CH4, Hydrocarbons and more
The PAM v2 is the only instrument of its kind that can connect a single unit, or multiple distillation slave units, to one master unit with wireless control from an iPAD. The status screen provides clear information about the current status of the sample being analysed and you can even add custom points to your distillation, even when you have completed the distillation. A Final Boiling Point (PBP) graph is also included, as well as a reference material database. Parameters can be altered before, during and after distillation. The ‘report’ screen will provide all necessary information about the results of the distillation, whilst offering a variety of user accounts and access levels and multiple language support.
Peltier elements, installed in the PAMv2, have eliminated the need for a compressor driven cooling device which would need liquid refills. The Peltier method is now widely perceived as the preferred technique for cooling the condenser tube and receiver compartment as this involves less labour and more reliability.

The unit also includes an electronic scanning device, without any moving parts. This is far more user-friendly and reliable than the use of traditional stepper motors.
