The Uniphos peroxide value meter features an advanced Silicon Photodiode light detector to accurately measure the Peroxide value in edible oil samples.
Peroxides are the primary products of oil oxidation and they can be used as a measure oil rancidity. The sample oil is first treated with a variety of reagents to create a colored dye. The instrument measures the absorbance of the light passed through this colored dye and relates it to the peroxide value of the oil. With datalogging included as standard and the USB interface present in the instrument allows the user to easily transfer the stored data along with time and date to a computer.
