Bitumen SARA Analysis | IATROSCAN® MK7s FID


The IATROSCAN® MK7s FID (Flame Ionization Detector) is a device used to easily seperate, identify and quantify the different fractions of bitumen based on a chromatographic method.

Also known as TLC-FID, the IATROSCAN® is the simplest way to analyse the SARA (Saturates, Aromatics, Resins and Asphaltenes) composition of bitumen in order to predict its colloidal stability and its compatibility with various polymers.
