Intelligent Portable Multi-Fuel Analyzer
The MINISCAN IRXpert is the first completely portable multi-fuel analyzer for Gasoline, Diesel and Biofuel Blends, which combines the advantages of mid-IR and near-IR spectroscopy for utmost measurement accuracy. More than 40 fuel parameters are accurately determined by scanning the complete spectrum with superior resolution. Based on Grabner Instruments profound knowledge in fuel analysis, the MINISCAN IRXpert is designed as an intelligent, self-learning analyzer. At the push of a button the instrument automatically analyzes new fuel parameters.
The MINISCAN IRXpert is a temperature controlled, robust and user friendly spectrometer for the automatic measurement of concentration of the most important components of gasoline and diesel. Advanced chemometrics, a worldwide database of calibration samples and information derived from the NIR spectrum provide highly reliable results for key properties such as Octane and Cetane Numbers, Distillation Properties and Vapor Pressure. An integrated temperature controlled density meter allows for exact determination and stability of fuel density.
Maximizing Ease of Use
MINISCAN IRXpert for testing fuels right from the street. A high end full color touch-screen facilitates menu navigation and allows in depth spectrum analysis. USB and Ethernet interfaces facilitate quick data-transfer, printing, LIMS integration and remote control and service. For field use, the MINISCAN IRXpert can be run with a 12V car adapter.
