ECS 8060 Nitrogen, Protein Analyzer

ECS 8060 is a Nitrogen, Protein Analyzer Model making use of the Dumas combustion method. ECS 8060 is a state-of-the-art instrument for the elemental analysis based on sample combustion and separation of gases. The N2 combustion product is quantified by a high resolution TCD detector. CO2 is trapped in the innovative Zeoquantum system while H2O is condensed by specific Permapure trap.

Fully automatically operated: from the available samplers to the oxygen dosage, from the monitoring of consumables status to the zeolite regeneration system.

ECS 8060 Model is composed by:

 ✓ Dual furnace combustion system (for a better combustion and optimization of catalysts)

 ✓ Water extraction system by Permapure and water trap

✓ Carbon dioxide adsorption system by Zeoquantum

✓ Detection system ✓ Data acquisition and handling.

Very versatile, it is very useful for analysis of a wide range of sample types and sizes - both liquids and solids, from micrograms to grams of organic materials. Thanks to the absence of a GC column, sample weight limits are wider.

Pneumatic, electric and manual samplers and high quality consumables are available. Automatisms make ECS 8060 particularly user-friendly: the automatic oxygen dosage system allows a better consumption of oxygen and consumable status monitoring function optimizes the catalysts to be used. By the Zeoquantum CO2 adsorption system a large amount of carbon dioxide can be treated by an automatic regeneration system – resulting in more precision, greater performances in a shorter time.

When used in a C-N configuration, the simultaneous determination of nitrogen and carbon is attained. The exclusive designed TCD -Thermal Conductivity Detector -is self-calibrating so that no reference gas is needed. The ECS 8060 is particularly suitable for linking to other units for determination of the isotopic ratios of carbon stable isotopes.
