ECS 4010 – CHNS-O

Elemental Combustion System

Main Features

The organic elemental analyzer ECS 4010 is based on the Dumas method for the simultaneous measurement of CHNS-O elements.

It represents an evolution of the elemental analysis techniques based on “flash combustion” / chromatographic separation. CO2, H2O, SO2 and N2 are separated in a GC column kept at a constant temperature set by the user within the range 30°C-110°C.

  • Manual gas settings
  • High sensitivity, accuracy and precision
  • Flexibility and versatility of application
  • Detector does not require reference gas
  • Powerful software for viewing results from a computer
  • Three types of samplers available: electronic / pneumatic / manual.
  • Easy connection to Mass Spectrometers and other detectors for stable isotope analysis
  • Low operation and management costs
  • Low initial instrument investment
  • Standby mode to save on gas, energy and time

The ECS 4010 is a fully automated, microprocessor-controlled analytical unit interfaced with a computer. The results can be viewed directly via PC using a special software.

The ECS 4010 is recommended for burning large quantities of sample (for example soil, sediment analysis). The ECS 4010 is also recommended for laboratories that analyze large numbers of samples.

This model is recommended for N; N, C; N, C, H; N, C, H, S analysis.
 The double furnace configuration ensures optimized catalyst consumption.

The ECS 4010 has three main modules: sampling/combustion system (three different autosamplers are available with various types of reactors to ensure constantly optimized application), detection system and data handling system.
 This is a high sensitivity analysis instrument, very versatile and suitable for applications ranging from the pharmaceutical industry to marine biology, food analysis and petrochemical analysis.

The Detector (TCD, thermal Conductivity Detector, featuring an exclusive design) is self-calibrating and does not require the use of a reference gas.
The ECS 4010 combines robustness, reliability and flexibility to meet the broadest range of analytical requirements.

The ECS 4010 is particularly suitable for linking to other units for measuring the isotopic ratios of stable isotopes in elements.
