Optimising Seed Oil Yield by In-process Testing
In a new article, Oxford Instruments highlight both the cost and time savings using the MQC+ oilseed analyser for optimising seed oil yield instead of Soxhlet extraction or other methods. This is monitored by measuring the oil content of the incoming oilseed and comparing it with the oil content of the residues after pressing and after solvent extraction.
The MQC+ oilseed analyser accurately measures the oil and water content of both oilseeds and their residues according to ISO 10565 and ISO 10632 standard methods respectively. The NMR measurement is based on a simple and intuitive linear calibration that is unaffected by granularity, colour, or the origin of the seeds or residue. Therefore, any decisions based on the oil content measurement, whether determining crop value or optimising the crushing process, can be taken with confidence.
The MQC+ oilseed analyser requires calibration using a minimum of three samples; a global calibration based on 100s of samples is not required, so additional costs for calibration maintenance are also avoided. After the initial calibration, stable synthetic samples are used to recreate the calibration in the long term.
The MQC+ software is designed with ergonomics in mind, such that samples may be repeatedly weighed then analysed without needing to use the keyboard and mouse. The sample is poured into a tared tube, automatically weighed on an external balance then placed in the instrument and analysed. The measurement takes just 16 seconds for the ISO methods. It takes only 2-3 minutes to prepare and analyse each oilseed or residue sample, therefore the MQC+ can analyse in excess of 250 oilseed samples per day as would be required during the harvest season.

Newly Launched Analytical Grade Oxygen (5.0) Generator Announced
Leman Instruments are proud to offer their new 99.999% oxygen generator. This new product will be a huge asset to every user of elemental spectroscopy (including organic and inorganic spectroscopy).
The generator comes in different capacities: up to 1LPM or 4LPM. These two formats have been designed to supply most of the analysers on the market, such as, Thermo Fisher, Leco, Elementar and Shimadzu, to name a few.
Within these capacities there are 2 types of 99.999% generators. The first is designed for petrochemical analysis (mostly sulphurs) as OXY50L S-1 or 4. The second is designed for protein analysis as OXY50L P-1 or 4. The OXY50L P-1 or 4 can also be used for the sulphur detection.
Leman Instruments is using a revolutionary patented technology of Advanced Smart Pressure Swing Absorption (ASPSA). The user will simply need some compressed air from his laboratory in reasonable quantities - around 6 bar - to obtain the perfect O2
quality for its application. Owing to the high cost of the grade 5.0 O2 cylinders, Leman Instruments guarantee a return on investment within 6 months for the consumption of
4 LPM and within 1 year for the consumption of 1 LPM. Financially, every laboratory manager/user will see a huge saving from this ultra high purity O2 generator.
As the generator provides continuous production, the calibration steps required every time a new bottle of O2 of the O2
will be stable. The generator is small and transportable compared to a bottle of O2 is installed are unnecessary, and the purity , making it mobile in the laboratory or, if necessary, even in
the field. The instrument is designed with very minimal maintenance needs, meaning the user will have extremely limited maintenance costs across the generator life.
Thanks to Leman’s different partners, this generator line has been successfully tested on different models from many leading brands. Due to its patent, Leman Instruments is the only gas generator manufacturer able to provide this exciting new product.
