CHELMSFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spectro Scientific, one of the world’s largest suppliers of oil, fuel
and processed water analysis instrumentation and software for fleet
applications, has announced the release of MicroLab®
Version 11 Software and the introduction of new MicroLab Companion Kits.

The MicroLab automated analyzer series provides complete oil analysis
testing including chemistry, kinematic viscosity and concentration of up
to 20 wear, additive and contamination elements, in addition to an
optional particle counter. Version 11 software brings improved
performance through new signal processing methods and features that
provide additional capabilities and flexibility. The upgraded user
interface permits input of external data to produce consolidated fluid
analysis reports that include several parameters for oil and equipment
condition not previously available in the MicroLab test suite. The
software update presents a new, easy to read report format which
includes additional historical trending data.

The MicroLab Series also now features the MicroLab 31, MicroLab 42 and
MicroLab 43 Companion Kits. The Kits combine Spectro’s FDM 6001 fuel
dilution meter, FerroCheck 2000 ferrous wear analyzer and CoolCheck 2
coolant analyzer with the MicroLab 30 and 40 analyzers to offer users
complete fluid analysis testing packages to meet their maintenance needs.

The ability to perform oil analysis on location eliminates the ongoing
expense of outside testing services and dramatically reduces waiting
time for test results. The MicroLab combines automation and artificial
intelligence to provide comprehensive results in less than 15 minutes.
Detailed oil and machine condition information enables companies to take
necessary maintenance actions immediately, minimizing unscheduled
downtime and lowering fleet maintenance costs. Reliable onsite oil
analysis also permits users to safely extend the time between oil
changes, reducing oil expenditures and helping to achieve “green”
initiatives relative to oil disposal.

“This next phase of the MicroLab development reinforces Spectro’s
commitment to bring the best of our technologies and expertise to our
customers for on-site oil analysis”, said Spectro President and CEO
Brian Mitchell. “Our fleet customers will benefit from enhanced
performance and capability for better decision making within their
maintenance programs”.
