Bioethanol Analysis with the ACTIVA-S ICP-AES Spectrometer

ACTIVA-S is a good ICP-AES instrument to analyse bioethanol. The traditional procedure for the analysis is a dilution of ethanol with a lower volatility solvent, or with water. In order to avoid sample preparation and risk of contamination, it’s preferable to analyse straight ethanol. This is possible with the ACTIVA-S using a specific sample introduction: a cooled cyclonic spray chamber.

With ACTIVA-S, Horiba Scientific offers an excellent solution for all petrochemical applications including biofuels applications. This is also a perfect tool for most of the traditional ICP applications (environmental, medical, mining…)
