Product news

JM Science newest oil evaporator, the AQUACOUNTER EV-2000L utilizes azeotropic distillation and completely separates water from sample matrices, thus eliminating any side reactions with interfering substances.

The oil evaporator is especially useful for determining moisture in difficult samples such as heavy oils, grease, peanut butter, etc. The CE approved EV-2000L can be used with the AQUACOUNTER Karl Fischer titrators, or any other manufacturer’s titrators.

The heating range is from ambient temperature to 200°C. Carrier gas is N2 gas or dry air and flow is 30-300mL/min with inlet pressure at 0.8 MPa or less. The desiccant used is a molecular sieve and the unit has an aluminum block heater. Sample volume is approximately 10ml or less. Height and weight is 220 (W) x 340 (D) x 265 (H) mm and about 7 kg. A wide variety of sampling devices are also available.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices. Find the best filtration products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.TitrationTitration is an analytical technique for determining substance concentration in a solution. For titration consider a manual or automated system, volumetric or coulometric reagent addition and indication by a potentiometer, spectrometer, turbidometer or by the Karl Fischer method. Other features of titration to consider include burettes, reagents, concentration range, reaction time and autosamplers.
