Fraction Finder Ultra with Size 34 Sensor With Ultra-sensitivity

The FRACTION FINDER is Arometrix’s real-time molecular monitoring system for refinement processes, such as fractional distillation and isolation. This patented technology is essential for getting the highest-quality, most consistent oils possible. Forget the old ways of relying on experience, guesswork, and eyesight alone – now you can identify fractions in-line with this novel approach to real-time molecular tracking.

Lack of objectivity during fractional distillation

Botanical processors don’t know their product’s quality until after the process is over. This is because traditional molecular analyzers are hardware-hungry and can’t be utilized in-line, but rather, after the process for sample testing.

During the process, processors are forced to rely on subjective techniques, such as eyesight, experience, and guesswork, and indirect techniques like temperature. This lack of analytical tools during the processing leads to human error and “bad” batches. Now, you can forget the old ways of manually ‘finding fractions’. The FRACTION FINDER product line will improve the quality, consistency, and value of processed botanicals.

Make smarter decisions based on data

Arometrix’s disruptive solution is the patented FRACTION FINDER. Processors refer to it while they are operating to view current process status and undertake corrective actions if needed. By using the Fraction Finder in tandem with existing laboratory and processing techniques, you’ll have a wealth of additional information on which to base decisions.

For example, the data will tell you when to change your distillation collection flasks so that the different fractions are more optimally separated. The main fractions are “heads”, “bodies”, and “tails”. Knowing exactly when each fraction starts helps you to determine optimal flask transfers for precise and repeatable separation of fractions.

Additionally, this technology is great for rapidly training novice technicians on the process, or standardizing distillations across a large facility.

Applicable processes for this model includes small, benchtop, and industrial distillation process, including short path distillation, thin film distillation, and wiped film evaporation / distillation, and chromatography / isolation.

Powered by fluorescence spectroscopy

The AROMETRIX technology utilizes a principle known as fluorescence spectroscopy, a branch of science concerned with measuring molecules based on how they interact with light. The technology uses a spectrum of wavelengths over time to determine the relative purity of oils flowing through a glass condenser or sight glass. This technique paves the way for precision and repeatability, which will yield a more consistent product over time.
