Abstract
The performance of a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer equipped with an autosampling accessory (AutoSamplIR) using disposable vials with uncontrolled pathlength has been compared with the performance of an FT-NIR equipped with a manual vial sampling accessory using a reusable cell with calibrated pathlength. The effect of different parameters such as the signal-to-noise ratio, the stability of the purge and the linearity of absorbance have been evaluated by means of the NIR predictions of two physico-chemical properties of interest for gasoils, i.e the wt% of hydrogen and the cetane number (CN). It has been shown that an FT-NIR with the autosampling accessory can be used advantageously at low cost for quick and precise analyses of small amounts of sample.
