CDR PalmOilTester can determine:
- Free Fatty Acids (FFA) in 1 minute
- Peroxides in 4 minutes
- DOBI & Carotene in 6 minutes
- Iodine value in 2 minutes
- p-Anisidine Value in 2 minutes
Thanks to its ease of use and reliability, CDR PalmOilTester is employed by palm oil producers in Asia, Africa and South America during all production stages.
Furthermore, CDR PalmOilTester is used in testing laboratories or directly on production lines in many food industries worldwide that use palm oil as a cooking oil and shortening or in the manufacture of margarine, non-dairy creamers and ice cream and so on. It offers an analytical method that combines reliability of results with a simple and rapid use.
How are tests on palm oil performed?
Performing chemical analyses on palm oil, either crude or refined, is simple and fast because sample preparation is minimal. All reagents are supplied pre-vialed and ready to use, and operators do not have to handle toxic or carcinogenic compounds; there is no need to wash either containers or traditional glassware.
How is PalmOilTester System composed?
Instruments
CDR PalmOilTester Analysis System uses an analyzer based on photometric technology, available in two versions, and a dedicated kit of pipettes. The ease and reliability of the system is based on exclusive technical features:
- reading cells are equipped with state-of-the-art LED emitters;
- reading and incubation cells are thermostated at 37 ° C;
- the analyzer is supplied pre-calibrated, no further calibration or maintenance is required;
- instruments can be equipped with a printer or PC connection.
Reagent Kits
CDR PalmOilTester Analysis Systems use low toxicity disposable pre-vialed reagents, specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR. The use of pre-vialed reagents and dedicated analytical procedures allows:
- a sample preparation that is quick and easy, when needed at all;
- making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy;
- removing all needs for complex calibration procedures;
- removing all needs to handle toxic or carcinogenic agents;
- making the amount of chemical waste generated only a fraction of the waste generated by standard methods.
Reagents come in packages containing 10 test tubes each, to perform 10 tests (or packages for 100 tests containing 10 single packages of 10 test tubes each).
Save your time
CDR PalmOilTester can determine several parameters in palm oil, either crude or refined, relying on analytical procedures and dedicated reagents specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR that allow:
- a sample preparation that is quick and easy
- making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy
- removing all needs for complex calibration procedures.
Moreover, CDR PalmOilTester allows accelerating analytical procedures for crude and refined palm oil quality control because it features:
- thermostated incubation cells
- multitasking mode
These features allow performing several analyses at the same time on the same sample or sixteen different assays for the same parameter on a batch of different samples.
Analysis
CDR PalmOilTester can be used to test crude, refined, and Kernel Palm Oil to determine:
- Palm Oil
- Free Fatty Acids
- Peroxide Value
- Anisidine Value (AnV)
- DOBI & Carotene content
- Iodine Value test
