ECS 8020 is a C-H-N-S-O Elemental Analyzer Model based on the Dumas combustion method.
ECS 8020 is a state-of-the-art system for the elemental analysis based on sample combustion and separation of gases with a chromatographic column.
The combustion products, i.e. CO2, H2O, N2 and SO2, are separated and quantified by a high resolution TCD detector.
ECS 8020 is composed by:
Dual furnace combustion system (for a better combustion and optimization of catalysts)
Safety quick fit system for reactors connection (easy and safe way to set the instrument)
Customized GC column
Detection system
Data acquisition and handling
ECS 80 SERIES ECS 8020 CHNS-O Several configurations may be set for the determination of the target element.
Typical configurations are for: CHNS; CHN; CN; CNS; O
Choose the best configuration by choosing the right chemicals, consumables and prepacked reactors.
