Typical Chromatogram

D7169 Chromatogram

Key Features and Benefits

  • Easy-to-use software which can be customized to the lab’s requirements
  • Can be combined with other high temperature simulated distillation methods on the same instrument
  • Can be modified using a pre-fractionator to perform detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA) on the lighest components according to Appendix X1.
