The accuracy and reliability of the FT-NIR based method has been evaluated via an official AOCS-supervised round robin test. Because of the inherent high reproducibility and stability of ABB’s FT-NIR analyzer technology, the analysis procedure is universally applicable to a wide variety of oils and fats without any calibration adjustments. 

 
• Fully pre-aligned and pre-calibrated for Iodine Value and %Trans. Rugged design and construction and superior manufacturing methods guarantee unsurpassed analyzer stability. 
• Results obtained in less than 2 minutes, with simultaneous analysis of multiple components. - Easy-to-use, operator friendly, with very low cost of analysis. 
• Simplified sampling using heated disposable glass vials means no clean-up between samples – very easy to run large sample batches. 
• Higher analytical precision (increased repeatability, reproducibility and stability) compared with standard wet-chemical methods. 
• Very little training required for use in a routine operations environment by plant personnel. 

  Rapid, Reliable Oil and Fat Analysis Results  ABB has been a world leader in industrial FT-NIR analysis solutions for many years. We have worked together with customers and the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) to help define standard methods for FT-NIR calibration and analysis of oils and fats. The result is the MB3600-CH10 Laboratory FT-NIR Oils and Fats Analyzer.    Real-time Data for Fast Product Release  The MB3600-CH10 is supplied complete with pre-calibrations for Iodine Value (IV) and % trans fat (%Trans) suitable for a wide variety of sample types, including raw and processed vegetable oils. It is therefore ready to use for quick lab analysis and fast product release.    Simplified Analysis and Calibration Development in the Lab  The MB3600-CH10 Laboratory Analyzer simplifies oil and fat quality analysis in the laboratory. It combines the analysis of IV and %Trans in a single measurement. Analysis is performed using disposable vials which eliminate sample cell cleaning. The measurement time is only 1 minute after the sample has reached the fixed measurement temperature.
