Phase Technology customers

Why do more companies in the world choo Phase Technology analyzers?

Companies choose Phase Technology because: 1. World’s best precision 2. World’s fastest speed 3. World’s most complete set of features and easy-to-use analyzer

Phase Technology 70 X

70 Xi analyzer benefits § Fastest speed of any automatic or manual method: w Average test duration 8 – 10 min w Average operator time 0. 5 – 2 min § Unsurpassed detection of contamination in jet fuels § Powerful cooling system; minimum sample temperature to below -88°C [-126°F]

70 Xi productivity feature § Fast, one-touch testing w press one button to run a test instead of entering multiple screens of information § Full-color, touch-sensitive, 15” high resolution screen w Easier to read and view more information w Displays several views of information at the same time. w Touch sensitive design is faster than keyboard & mouse. § Easy-to-use interface w New colorful graphic icon buttons for faster navigation. w Intuitive and easy to understand on-screen prompts.

70 Xi productivity feature § USB and Ethernet connectivity w Quickly export analyzer data to a portable USB flash drive. w Ethernet port available for connecting to LIMS or internal computer network w Import and store any user documents (. doc, . pdf, . ppt and. pps) for customized operating procedures (SOP) or training § Reliability improvements w Modular component design – boards can be easily replaced in the field; no need to return to Canada for service w More stable cooler w Faster multiprocessor

70 Xiintellinostics Built-in answers and operator information § Quick, responsive solutions built-in alert — messages give troubleshooting options to quickly solve problems § Self-guided tutorials — easy, on-screen instructions show to use analyzer § In-depth system diagnostics — system checks verify performance and detect problems with critical components

Phase Technology 70 Xi Autosampler System

Automatic sampling & cleanin § Set-and-forget convenience w set 1 to 48 test runs, then walk away and let the analyzer do the rest! § Automatic sample injection w no need to individually pipette samples or change pipette tips. w Always uses the exact amount of sample required by the ASTM method. § Self-cleaning w Saves time and ensures perfect cleaning every time. w No more need for cotton swabs or risk of damage to sample cup.

70 Xi home screen

70 Xi “Favorites” featur § One-touch preset Favorites w Frequently-used test settings can be stored in the analyzer for quick access. w Favorites can be created, organized, sorted or deleted as you desire. w With the single push of a button, lab operators can efficiently perform tests in significantly less time

Built-in tools to validate test resul § § § Overlay and compare multiple phase plots Control and trend charts Automatic QC run Option to retest sample Optional alert or lockdown if out of acceptable limits

ASTM Methods Comparison

FREEZE POINT ASTM Method Compariso Phase Technology 70 Xi ISL/PAC FZP 52 Gs Manual Method ASTM Freeze Point Method D 5972 D 7153 D 2386 Repeatability 0. 5°C 0. 6°C 1. 5°C Reproducibility 0. 8°C 0. 9°C 2. 5°C No Yes N/A 96% 88% 19% No yes 8 to 10 minutes 15 to 30 minutes 60 to 120 minutes Test bias relative to manual method Full coverage contamination detection (ASTM RR-1572) False warming Test duration -88°C to +55°C Varies depending on external bath Temperature range Sample volume External cooler or bath required 0. 15 ml 10 ml 25 ml no no Yes

FREEZE POINT ASTM Method Compariso § § ISL/PAC takes 2 to 3 times longer to run a freeze point test compared to Phase Technology ISL/PAC FZP 52 Gs freeze point analyzer has serious false warming issues • • Numerous studies have shown high incidence of false warming – as high as 60% in a BP study Shell Bulletin GLN 33 a (September 14, 2006) warned that ISL “can occasionally falsely show a failure if samples contain small amounts of high boiling point material”

The Phase Technology ADVANTAGE: § Phase Technology’s 70 X analyzer is 4 to 10 times faster than the competition! § Phase Technology’s 70 Xi analyzer has the world’s best precision, best detection of contamination, and zero bias! § The PSA-70 Xi requires much less sample: 4 to 14 ml less needed per test!

The Phase Technology ADVANTAGE: § Phase Technology has the oldest, most established, continuous-in-production automatic cold flow ASTM Methods – 17 years of proven, in-the-field use! § The PSA-70 Xi tests pour, cloud and freeze point in one single unit. You’d have to buy two or three separate analyzers from our competitor!
