The MB3600-CH10 is a laboratory FT-NIR analyzer for oil and fat analysis, designed for rapid determination of iodine value and trans fat content. It uses disposable heated glass vials of 5, 8, or 12 mm outer diameter with a universal vial holder and automatic recognition via USB. Measurements take one minute after sample temperature stabilization and require no sample cleanup. The analyzer is pre-calibrated per AOCS standard Cd 1e-01 for iodine value and includes global calibrations based on a wide range of global oil samples. It features a Horizon software interface, simultaneous multi-component analysis, and guaranteed calibration transferability to process analyzers. Repeatability for iodine value ranges from 0.08 to 0.15 g I2/100g depending on range, and for trans fat from 0.10 to 0.60 wt%. Additional custom calibrations for moisture, melting point, cloud point, saponification number, and acid value are supported.
The IV determination uses a global calibration in accordance with the AOCS-approved standard procedure Cd 1e_01. This global IV calibration is based on a wide selection of oils and fats obtained from multiple production facilities worldwide.
The %Trans determination uses a global calibration based on a similarly wide range of oils. ABB’s world-renowned range of on-line and laboratory FT-NIR analyzers provide guaranteed transferability of calibration models between laboratory and process applications.
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.
