Oil Analysis Challenges ASOSolv™ Solves
Laboratories performing elemental analysis of oils - lubricants, machinery oils, coolants, and edible oils - have long faced a difficult challenge: use organometallic standards with possible stability issues, and supply challenges that come with them, and miss out on the consistency and coverage that aqueous CRMs provide. ASOSolv™ eliminates that trade-off.
ASOSolv™ is a organic solvent designed to maintain the accuracy, stability, and flexibility required for demanding oil analysis applications. It works with both aqueous CRMs and traditional organometallic standards - one solvent, one streamlined workflow.
Oil analysis laboratories face a distinct set of pressures due to very large sample volumes. Any bottle necks in the workflow create more problems for heavily stressed laboratories. ASOSolv™ was designed with these challenges in mind.
FREE Featured Resource: A Smarter Approach to Oil Analysis
Traditional oil analysis methods can introduce challenges related to solvent handling, standard stability, and contamination control. This practical guide explores modern approaches to elemental analysis and demonstrates how ASOSolv™ supports safer, more flexible workflows for wear metals, additive elements, and edible oils.
Whether you are new to oil analysis or looking to improve an existing workflow, this guide covers the key challenges laboratories face and how ASOSolv™ addresses them — from instrument maintenance and supply chain reliability to elemental coverage and detection limits.

Less Friction, More Flow: Simplifying ICP Oil Analysis with ASOSolv™
Elemental analysis of oil-based samples presents unique calibration challenges — and for many laboratories, the traditional reliance on organometallic standards comes with real costs: supply chain uncertainty, instrument maintenance burden, and workflows that don't flex to meet modern analytical demands. In this webinar, Mike Booth, Innovation & Applications Development Manager at Inorganic Ventures and Sergei Leikin, Managing Director of Texas Scientific Products will introduce
ASOSolv™ — a new hybrid aqueous/organic solvent engineered for ICP-OES analysis of wear metals, additive elements, and contaminants in lubricating and edible oils. Mike and Sergei will walk through what makes ASOSolv™ different, including its compatibility with both aqueous CRMs and organometallic standards, its clean-burning formulation that eliminates carbon buildup on the ICP torch, and its 66-element TMI characterization that delivers lower detection limits for even the most demanding trace metal applications. Whether you are looking to simplify your calibration workflow, reduce instrument downtime, or bring greener chemistry into your lab, this session will show you how ASOSolv™ can help you get there.
