Vario micro cube
Analyzer for simultaneous C-, H-, N-, S- or
optional O, Cl - analysis
Innovative universal instrument for the determination of the
element contents in organic and most inorganic solids and liquids
(capsule sealing press as accessory).
Optimized for the measurement of micro samples
in the weighing range of 0.03 mg up to approx. 10 mg organic
substance, but also applicable e.g. for 300 mg soil.
Automatic sample feeder for 120 samples, in single and permanent
operation; reloadable at any time during operation.
Blank free sample injection by means of the ball-valve with
He-purging based on a Heraeus patent.
Time controlled combustion in pure oxygen with a permanent
temperature of max. 1200°C. This high furnace temperature is
a prerequisite for 100% recovery in S- and O-analysis.
For special applications like high temperature pyrolysis a
temperature of up to 1400°C can be applied (option).
The separation of the combustion gases will be done by
means of a completely new method, the temperature programmed
desorption -TPD (patent applied for).
From the combustion gas the components CO2,
H2O and SO2 are adsorbed at
one heatable column, whereas N2 gets
directly to the TCD.
Depending on the specific desorption temperatures the
gas components are controlled and chronologically released and
detected.
Thus, a peak separation to the baseline e.g. for CO2
and N2 can be reached even with a concentration ratio of
5000:1
.Analysis run of approx. 10 minutes for CHNS precision
measurements, self-optimizing by the signal intensity with low gas
consumption.
Detection of the measuring gases with a wide-range thermistor TCD
that is destruction-proof against oxygen. Almost maintenance free
detector function over many years. Unproblematic analysis of
fluorinated samples within a regular sample mix.
In connection with an electronic massflow controller directly
before the detector an excellent long time stability is reached.
The furnished instrument calibration can be used for months or even
years.For special measuring tasks, like oxygen, chlorine, sulfur in
the low ppm-range or isotopic analysis, additional detectors like
IR-photometers or mass spectrometers can be used.
Modern electronics and instrument software under
Windows® XP professional or 2000 for the user friendly
operation and data evaluation of the analyzer (English or German)
via a connected PC.
Integrated user maintenance software with automatic leak test,
wake-up/sleep function, direct data export into Excel®
and connection to LIMS and other data networks.
Special software package (optional) in compliance with the
requirements of FDA acc. to 21 CFR Part 11.
All operation functions and checks incl. gas flows and pressures
are digitally controlled and/or readout capable. Thus a remote
diagnosis and operation via the internet is possible.
Easy to maintain and cost efficient long term operation. High
safety standard, e.g. by low voltage in the entire instrument incl.
furnaces.
10 years furnace guarantee.
