Analysis of Used Lubricating Oils
FT-IR analysis offers a proactive approach to monitor lubricant health, enabling early detection of wear and contamination. By monitoring lubricant degradation over time, LAS accessory combined with FT-IR technique provides ciritcal insights for optimizing lubricant formulations, checking the correct working conditions of oil and diagnosing equipment malfunctions to avoid breakdown.
FAME Quantification in Biodiesel
Biodiesel, a blend of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), is a promising alternative fuel source. FT-IR spectroscopy offers a reliable technique for FAME quantification and verification following EN 14078 and ASTM D7371. Check our study, both methods are compatible with our LAS accessory and your preferred FTIR instrument, offering a faster analysis without the need of sample dilution.
Quantitative Determination of Dimethicone in Toluene Solutions
Dimethicone is a key ingredient in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, performing quality control is essential in order to withstand United States Pharmacopeia (USP) requirements. This application showcases the advantages of the LAS for rapid and precise dimethicone determination in toluene solutions using FT-IR.
Use of Cyclohexane for the Determination of Hydrocarbons in Water (TPH)
Monitoring total oil and grease and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in water is crucial for environmental protection and human safety. This application note explores cyclohexane as a safer alternative to halogenated solvents.
