Best-in-class sample throughput:
Designed for maximum laboratory efficiency
- Fewer time-consuming calibration measurements and maintenance events mean more capacity for real sample analysis.
- Unattended 24/7 operation due to the automated 90-position autosampler.
- Fast analysis time of only 5 minutes per sample.
- The analysis of urgent samples can be prioritized without adjusting loaded samples.
Economical operation:
Reduced consumable consumption
and cost-efficient carrier gas alternative
-
Reduced consumables consumption through advanced EAS REGAINER® technology and extended consumable uptime.
- The use of argon as the carrier gas saves money in comparison to the use of helium.
- Reusable steel crucibles reduce running costs.
Maximum sample flexibility:
Large weighing ranges & sample volumes
- Upright, reusable robust steel crucibles with a large capacity of 5 g / ml.
- Suitable for a wide range of sample types:
From liquids such as milk, beer, soft drinks, juice, and soy sauce to semi-liquids like yogurt and mayonnaise, and solids including meat, cereals, and flour. - Easy preparation of liquid samples directly into the crucibles, no wrapping needed.
- Time-consuming sample preparation like grinding or milling can often be omitted.
Comfortable, easy use:
Smart workflows & tool-free maintenance
- Improved process control and software with optimized navigation and smart workflows guide users efficiently through every step of the analysis.
- A status display directly on the instrument, automatic system checks, and integrated software assistants ensure quick preparation for analysis and smooth operation.
- Fast maintenance thanks to clearly arranged, easily accessible system components and tool-free clamp connections.
- Comfortable working posture due to the slide-out furnace.
- The outstanding robustness and longevity of the instrument reduce efforts for maintenance and repairs.
- Using the Dumas combustion method eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals, making operation safer and more convenient for laboratory staff.
Future-proof investment:
10-year commercial guarantee & spare parts delivery
- 10-year commercial guarantee on the high-temperature combustion furnace and thermal conductivity detector cell of the thermal conductivity detector (TCD)
- Spare parts provision for a minimum of 10 years due to our long-term oriented technical support.
- Outstanding low cost of ownership gives you confidence in your return on investment.
- Consumables can be ordered conveniently through our customer service or online.
