Fuels and Biodiesel
Fame-Check
The Fame-Check test kits can be used to quantify the %-amount of diesel fuel added to biodiesel. This easy-to-use test method converts the methyl esters in biodiesel mixtures into free fatty acids and then titrates the resulting acids.
The Fame-Check test works with all types of biodiesel regardless of the source and provides quantitative results within 15 minutes within 3 test ranges; 0-10%, 0-20% and up to 60%.
Analyte/Matrix: Diesel in biodiesel
Ranges: 0-10 V%, 0-20 V% and 0-60 V%

Quant-N-Ol
Switzerland's Air Pollution Control Ordinance of 16 December 1985 stipulates that carbon monoxide emissions from motor vehicles must not exceed 500 mg/m3 in order to reduce the ozone level in our atmosphere. Legislation has since been introduced in many countries around the world.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and the petroleum industry have worked together on the basis of cross-border values to find a way to reduce this problem. Thanks to their efforts, the petroleum industries were able to reassemble petrol with oxygen-containing chemicals such as methyl tert-butylether (MTBE) or ethanol and meet the national requirements.
The primary additive used for this purpose was methyl-tert-butylether (MTBE). While MTBE is an excellent additive to reduce auto emissions, it has a negative impact on the environment. Too large units of MTBE can contaminate the groundwater and generally pose a potential health problem for the population. By changing the formula of petrol, new with ethanol as oxygenate, an alternative to the MTBE was created.
The Quant-N-Ol rapid test is an on-site test for the quantification of alcohol (ethanol) in petrol. This quick and easy test allows regulators and petrol dealers to check the presence and percentage of alcohol on site with safe, non-toxic reagents in less than 2 minutes. The analysis range for this quick test is between 0 and 90%.
