ERASPEC X

ERASPEC X: The Portable FTIR Fuel Analyzer

The ERASPEC X is the world’s smallest lab-grade mid-FTIR fuel analyzer. At the push of a button, it delivers a detailed fingerprint of gasoline and diesel fuels using only 3 mL of sample. Thanks to its rugged, full metal housing, it is the perfect tool for ultrafast measurements inside mobile labs or directly in the field.

Key Features

Ultra-Compact & Rugged: Built into the world’s smallest full metal housing for a lab-grade FTIR spectrometer, making it ideal for harsh field environments and mobile laboratories.
Fast Analysis: Delivers a detailed FTIR fingerprint of gasoline and diesel fuels in under 60 seconds.
Minimal Sample Volume: Requires only 3 mL of sample per fully automated measurement.
Automated Referencing: Features a built-in reference cell within a triple-position design for fully automated reference measurements without operator intervention.
High Cost-Efficiency: Outperforms traditional GC methods in terms of cost efficiency and operational simplicity without sacrificing analytical capabilities.

Applications

The ERASPEC X can be customized with various modules to meet specific testing needs:

Gasoline Analysis: Detailed detection of aromatics (including benzene according to EN 238), oxygenates (MTBE, ethanol, methanol) and octane boosters.
Diesel Analysis: Precise measurement of FAME (ASTM D7806 and EN 14078), cetane improvers, polynuclear aromatics, and vegetable oil.
Expandable Parameters: Optional modules to evaluate complex properties such as RON, MON, cetane number, DVPE, and distillation fractions.
Alternative Fuels: Specialized modules available for the analysis of fuel ethanol and fuel methanol.
