Carbon and sulfur analyzer for organic and inorganic samples
Achieve precise and simultaneous carbon and sulfur analysis for organic and inorganic samples, ensuring accurate quality control and research insights across various material matrices.
Measures Carbon and Sulfur Concentrations
The CS-580A from ELTRA GmbH is an elemental analyzer designed for precise determination of carbon and sulfur concentrations in a wide range of samples. It uniquely combines a resistance furnace with a vertical ceramic tube, allowing for the combustion of materials at temperatures up to 1,550 °C. Suitably used in agriculture, recycling, pharmaceuticals, and construction, it accurately analyzes samples such as coal, gypsum, and plant biomass. With a throughput of up to 130 samples, the CS-580A is equipped with optional acid-resistant autoloaders and TIC module for increased versatility. Up to four independent infrared cells support accurate detection, while integration with LIMS facilitates seamless data management. Its robust construction suits continuous operation in demanding environments, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
