To keep your MicroLab running in top condition, it is important to use the recommended
cleaning and standardization fluids.
CheckFlush is specially designed to clean the lines in the MicroLab between samples. This prevents
cross-over contamination and keeps your instrument running its best.
The standardization fluids are designed for calibration of the instrument. Your maintenance
practices should follow the prescribed standardization process to ensure your results are accurate.

MicroLab Expert System & Reports
The MicroLab has an embedded expert system which translates
all of the analytical data into maintenance actions specific to your
equipment. The artificial intelligence of the system is built from
FULLY AUTOMATED OIL ANALYSIS over 20 years of industry knowledge and more than 10,000 rules
statements to generate the diagnostic statements that are specific
to each application, the type of equipment and the type of oil.
The MicroLab combines automation and Saves time – compiles and analyzes all test data
Takes the guess work out of interpreting results – provides
artificial intelligence in a simplified oil suggested maintenance actions
Saves money – no need to hire an analytical resource
