OXITEST - Oxidation Stability Reactor
Velp ScientificaThe OXITEST is designed for R&D and QC for the study of the behaviour of fat oxidation stability. The OXITEST speeds up the oxidation process and measures the absolute pressure change of oxygen inside the two titanium heating chambers at a constant temperature, thus monitoring the oxygen uptake by reactive components in the sample and automatically generating an IP value for further analysis via software.
