New Benchmark for Automatic D86 Distillation

Grabner Instruments (Austria) introduces the new Minidis ADXpert; an automatic, portable and fast mini-distillation analyser. Reliable and highly precise results make the Minidis ADXpert a smart alternative to classical D86 testing. Minidis ADXpert has a resolution more efficient than 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, miniaturisation and ease of use. The result is a breakthrough in terms of both design and performance. The fully automatic Mindis 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 analyser incorporates automatic rinsing, sample introduction and fully automatic cleaning programs; which guarantee productivity and highest sample throughput.

The compact and portable unit is ideal for labs with 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.
