OXITEST - Oxidation Stability Reactor
The OXITEST is designed for R&D and QC for the study of the behaviour of fat oxidation stability. The OXITEST speeds up the oxidation process and measures the absolute pressure change of oxygen inside the two titanium heating chambers at a constant temperature, thus monitoring the oxygen uptake by reactive components in the sample and automatically generating an IP value for further analysis via software.

Oxitest is of great help for a reliable characterisation
Analysis of food products and packaging
Main advantages of Oxitest: -It's very easy to use, and does not require sample pretreatment -The result regards the whole product, and are not referred to an extract -All active compounds are evaluated, not only what reacts with a specific reagent, as in several assays -The possible synergies due to the presence of different antioxidants or pro-oxidants are taken into account

Useful instrument for rapid screening of the oxidation of food products
Oxidative stability tests of different food products
For several years now, Oxitest is employed in our lab to perform oxidative stability studies of different food matrix both liquid and solid. It has been used to determine oxidative stability and predict the shelf life of extra virgin olive oils and other vegetable oils, oily seeds, and bakery products. Generally, results show good reproducibility, in particular when dealing with matrices very rich in fats. The instrument is particularly useful to do rapid screening of food products within the same category, to evaluate the effect on the stability of different ingredients or diverse fats into a recipe. One of Oxitest main strengths it’s its easiness of use. You just have to put liquid samples or ground solid samples in the sample holders, set the instrument, and perform the test. Using the obtained results to make further tests such as shelf-life prediction and IP during aging is pretty simple, too. Velp offers good assistance if any issue occurs, even from remote.

The OXITEST is the innovative accelerated oxidation test for the determination of the oxidation stability of fats on the whole sample according to AOCS Cd-12c-16.
Representative Results
The OXITEST ensures representative results by determining the oxidation stability of the whole sample without extensive sample preparation: be it solid, liquid, or doughy.
Premium Resistance
The oxidation chambers, sample holders and covers are made of titanium, a premium material guaranteeing:
- High resistance and excellent chemical compatibility;
- Cost savings by eliminating required consumables.
Ease of Use
The OXITEST is entirely controlled via PC by the powerful OXISoft™ Software.
- All information at a glance;
- Multilingual support;
- Preloaded methods for data analysis.
Productivity
The OXITEST has 2 independent oxidation chambers and further expansion by connecting up to 4 systems to the same PC allowing the simultaneous analysis of up to 8 samples.
The OXITEST offers premium connectivity to VELP Ermes cloud platform, allowing to monitor and control analyses and the instrument working conditions from a virtual cockpit anytime and everywhere via pc, smartphone or tablet.
