Excellent performance in Automatic Distillation testing.
STARDist includes unique features such as Optical Dry Point testing, PreScan and fast heater cooling.
The smart heater control algorithms are designed for high performance.
Its automatic performance during the different heat phases (time to IBP, distillation rate, FBP) ensure the smoothest heater control and great accuracy & reproducibility, even with difficult blended products such as E15 or E20.
Key advantages
- Accurate temperature measurement.
- Precise volume detection.
- Early speed prediction.
- Agile heater control.
- Complete overview with quick access to most relevant data and actions such as print, export to LIMS and Optimize.
- Create and report any custom point (e.g. temp. at 250˚C) even after the test is long finished. Print results in both extensive table and graph.
- Easy-to-follow workflow for quarterly verification and yearly calibration procedures.
