FAMEs Analyzer
Ingenieria Analitica offers an GC analysis to determine the fatty acid composition there are several methods that we have automated. These include the DGF methods DGF C-VI 10 and C-VI 11, the SLMB 269.1 and the AOCS Ce 2-66, which involves methylation with the highly toxic boron trifluoride: An unpleasant step for any user.
The CHRONECT Workstation FAMEs by Axel Semrau consists of a CHRONECT Robotic Autosampler, a GC-FID system and an S/SL injector. The complete system is controlled by the CHRONOS software platform. The evaluation is done via Clarity or MassHunter.
Depending on the chromatographic conditions, 27 to 40 samples can be processed in 24 hours. The autosampler can be adapted quickly and flexibly for alternative processing methods, for example the transesterification of short-chain fatty acids. Various applications can also be automated at one workstation.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM
- Restriction of manual work to weighing the sample and changing the solvent.
- Safe handling of chemical substance.
- Minimal risk of carry-over due to frequent flushing of the siringes.
- Minimized use of solvents due to small volumes.
- Great repeatability.
- Increased throughput rate due to nesting by means of CHRONOS.
- Proven comparable measured values as with manual preparation.
