19 Nov, 2019

OptiPMD won the "2019 Best New Analytical Instrument" at Gulf Coast Conference. Thirteen new products competed for the coveted title, including Agilent, Koehler, Grabner, Shimadzu, and Eralytics among others. PAC won the most votes from the show’s attendees and some of our industry peers.

Another great news is that OptiPMD's micro-distillation method was just listed in the European Standards under EN 17306:2019.

OptiPMD is the second generation of a state-of-the-art solution for fast and reliable distillation analysis. It is in accordance to ASTM D7345, IP 596, EN 17306 and in perfect correlation with ASTM D86, D1160 (B100), ISO 3405 and IP 123. OptiPMD determines the boiling range characteristics of petroleum products in less than 10 minutes, using only 10 ml of sample and it’s included in at least 10 fuel specifications, including gasoline with up to 20% ethanol, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene and bio-diesels.

OptiPMD's method, ASTM D7345, delivers significantly faster results compared to the conventional ASTM D86 method, saving you 25 to 35 minutes per distillation.
