FluidScan Q1000

PORTABLE FLUID CONDITION MONITOR

Handheld, Solvent-Free, Immediate Results

The Direct Infrared Advantage Total Acid Number (TAN), Total Base Number (TBN) and FTIR spectroscopy are commonly-used oil analysis tests used to determine lubricant breakdown and contamination leading to equipment failure and expensive downtime. Spectros patented Direct Infrared (DIR) approach is a more accurate alternative to conventional TAN/TBN analysis (electrochemical titration and FTIR spectroscopy) and offers an unmatched combination of benets for accuracy, portability, reproducibility, speed, and cost savings.

Quantitative and qualitative infrared analysis wherever you need it

Spectros patented Direct Infrared (DIR) approach provides direct quantitative measurement of a lubricants condition. The Fluidscan Q1000 immediately detects lubrication contamination, degradation and cross contamination in mineral and synthetic engines, including gear, hydraulic, turbine and transmission oils as well as biodiesel and diesel blends. It analyzes for TAN, TBN, oxidation, nitration, sulfation, additive depletion and incorrect (or mixup) lubricant within water content, soot and glycerin in addition to FAME in biodiesels.

Patented solid and waveguide optics system = higher reproducibility + increased test reliability
The Fluidscans patented optical wedge is hardwired to the specic spectral bands relevant to used oil analysis with reproducibility and repeatability comparable to benchtop FTIR method ASTM E2412. TAN and TBN accuracy is consistent with ASTM D4739 and ASTM D664 titration methods and the IR approach provides intrinsically greater reproducibility. The waveguide minimizes atmospheric interference and maximizes the efciency of the spectrometer for high-performance, reliable analysis.

Small samples + solvent/reagent free = increased ROI (Return On Investment)

Just a few drops of lubricant is required, allowing for smaller samples and less waste of consumables. The patented ip top design makes preparation time and cleanup quick (less than a minute) and there is no need for solvents or cleaners which makes it an ideal solution for the eld..

Electronic signatures + intuitive interface = faster results + improved accuracy

The software multivariate analysis approach provides in service TAN and TBN determinations for the most common worldwide lubricant formulations. With an extensive library of lubricant signatures, an innovative data analysis compliant to ASTM E1655, provides highly detailed quantitiative and qualitiative analysis. Both differential and direct trend analysis IR analytical methods consistent with the latest standards are included. The FluidScan has visible alarms for easy analysis so interpretation is not necessary.
