Elemental Analyser

Thermofisher. Flashsmart
Elemental Analyser
Brand: Thermofisher. Flashsmart
Type: Equipment

Equipment that performs analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen.

Description

It performs analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen, improving the workflow as it can switch from one method to another thanks to a switch that allows it and minimises downtime when working in simultaneous mode (CHNS/O). The equipment is highly flexible and allows more than 20 configurations for different applications.

The analytical method is based on the complete and instantaneous oxidation of the sample by combustion with oxygen at a temperature of approximately 1020°C. The combustion products are transported by the carrier gas to a chromatographic column where the separation takes place. A thermal conductivity detector provides the signal for each element which is translated into percentage content.

Practical implementation

- Soil and plant analysis.

- Chemical composition of fertilisers (N content).

- S analysis in petrochemistry, geology, agriculture.

- Forensic analysis.

- Determination of food quality in official regulations in protein content.

- Protein determination and analysis of flour, cereals, beans and dairy products.

- Analysis of animal feed and foodstuffs.

- Characterisation of lubricants, industrial oils and petrol.

- Determination of CHN in fluorine compounds and pharmaceutical products.
