Phase Technology is acknowledged worldwide as
the leading manufacturer of high precision,
user friendly phase detection analyzers and as
a partner that you can rely on for problem
solving, innovation and outstanding service.
 The
design of our analyzers is based on the
detection of light scatter caused by phase
transitions. The usefulness of our detection
device in characterizing low temperature
properties such as freezing, cloud and pour
points of petroleum products has been well
established. Applications in the Food
Industry include many industry standard test
methods approved by the American Oil Chemist
Society (AOCS), the Association of Official
Analytical Chemists (AOAC).
Our
NK series of analyzers can be configured to
perform tests such as Titer, cloud and melting
points, winterization, nucleation and cold
properties of oils and fats. Please
contact us for details.
Key Merits of Our Detection Device
 |
Accuracy and precision achieved through
state-of-the-art optics and temperature
controls. Test conditions are reproduced
in an exacting manner and human judgement
is completely removed; as such, phase
transition temperatures can be determined
with extremely high precision and without
preconceived human biases.
|
|
|
Analysis speed through automation and
intelligent software. A good
understanding on the subject of phase
behavior is critical to the success of the
design. Typical analyst time requirement
is in the range of 30 seconds and total
test elapse time is in the range of
several minutes.
|
|
|
Beyond the detection of phase transition
temperatures, the apparatus is capable of
providing additional information such as
the relative extent of phase separation.
This could be useful in indicating the
extent of melting, crystallization or
immiscibility at different temperatures.
|
|
|
The design can yield further information
related to flow resistance. In this case,
a fixed amount of inert gas is pulsed
onto the sample surface and the extent of
induced movement is quantified. This
technique is useful in characterizing the
viscous behavior and gel strength of the
specimens under study.

|
|
Compact instrumental dimensions occupying
only 10” of bench width.
|
|
|
Small sample size: approximately 150
microliters.
