Mini-Distillation Analyzer offers fully automatic operation.
July 8, 2010 -
Offering alternative to classical D86 testing in labs with limited space, portable MINIDIS ADXpert performs true atmospheric distillation with samples as small as 6 mL and produces results within ASTM D86 r/R requirements. Functionality allows for precise testing of various gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel products; biofuels; solvents; aromatics; organic liquids; chemical; and contaminated or blended samples. Automatic rinsing, sample introduction, and cleaning programs are standard.

New Benchmark for Automatic D86 Distillation
Vienna, Austria. GRABNER INSTRUMENTS introduces the new MINIDIS ADXpert, an automatic, portable and fast mini-distillation analyzer. Reliable and highly precise results make the MINIDIS ADXpert a smart alternative to classical D86 testing. MINIDIS ADXpert has a resolution about twice as good as D86 distillation units, yielding results that are well within ASTM D86 r/R requirements.
The MINIDIS ADXpert development team focused on several specific design goals: Automation, miniaturization and ease of use. The result is a breakthrough in terms of both design and performance. The fully automatic MINIDIS ADXpert allows for precise testing of various gasoline, jet fuel and diesel products (groups 0-4), biofuels, solvents, aromatics, organic liquids, chemical and contaminated or blended samples. Like the D86 method the ADXpert performs a true atmospheric distillation but on a much smaller scale. Thus it requires as little as 6 mL of sample and is much faster. The analyzer incorporates automatic rinsing, sample introduction and fully automatic cleaning programs, which guarantee highest sample throughput and productivity.
The compact and portable unit is ideal for labs with little or limited space. With its rugged housing, the small sample volume and the sealed metal distillation cycle, the MINIDIS ADXpert eliminates the need for a fire protection system. Its durable metal sample cups reduce consumable costs by replacing more costly glass flasks.
