Best laboratory practices for particle counting

Bill Quesnel - CINRG Systems Inc.

Contents
This workshop sets out best practices for performing particle counts in on-site and laboratory environments. Topics including the effects of different sample diluents on reported counts and performing particle counting on difficult samples including used diesel engine oils, and water/glycol hydraulic oil samples. This workshop will provide training for how to conduct the recalibration of particle counting instruments in your own laboratory, including a discussion on recent changes to the NIST traceable standards (SR2806d) for particle counting instruments, and the impact this will have on your particle count results.

Automated gravimetric sample preparation that formally complies with standard methods governing lubricant analysis by ICP

Patrick Klemens - ESI Elemental Service & Instruments GmbH

Contents
Inductively Coupled Plasma is a popular technique to analyze both new and in-service lubricants for elemental content. Many laboratories choose to deviate from standard method requirements when it comes to sample preparation by dilution. This decision is typically governed by time demands and the sheer number of samples that the laboratory must analyze on a daily basis. Both analytical instrument companies and the laboratory errantly justify this decision by compensating with a normative factor or a physical internal standard during sample preparation and analysis, respectively. This workshop will provide a summary of new automation technology that allows laboratories to fully conform with gravimetric sample preparation and detail examples of why this sample preparation method is preferred when it comes to lubricant analysis.

11:00 am - 12:30 pm
