Description
Specification
Applications
Resources
The CHN628 utilizes a combustion technique and provides a result within 4.5 minutes for all the elements being determined. Simplified explanation of the operation principle can be summarized as follow: A sample is weighed into a foil or capsule and loaded into autoloader. Simple, gravity-fed autoloader allows for unattended analysis, while increasing long-term reliability of loader. Passing first the purge chamber that is removing atmospheric gas, the sample is introduced to furnace.
- Dual-stage furnace system operates at temperatures up to 1050°C with pure oxygen to ensure the complete combustion of all organic samples, without requiring additional metal oxidizing reagents or other carrier gases
- Quartz lance directs oxygen flow directly onto the sample, accelerating the combustion process and providing superior recovery
- Large, porous crucible aids combustion process and extends maintenance intervals reducing ash
- Ballast and Aliquot Combustion Gas Handling system significantly extends lifetime of carbon scrubber and reduction reagents
- To increase even more convenience of use, the CHN628 has open access to ballast and pinch valve assembly areas with quick-release features to simplify preventive maintenance routines
- Fast replacement tubing kits available with sealed unions and fittings for quick service
