ECS 4010 CHNS/O Analyzer

nc Technologies
Overview

The ECS 4010 is a fully automatic elemental analyzer for organic elemental analysis using high-temperature catalytic combustion (Dumas method). It enables simultaneous determination of CHNS and optional O, with modes for N, CN, CHN, and CHNS analysis.

Designed for high-throughput laboratories, it combines speed, precision, and automation. A dual-oven configuration reduces catalyst consumption while ensuring consistent results across diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and marine biology.

Its flexible setup supports multiple autosamplers and reactors, with a self-calibrating TCD detector that requires no reference gas. Robust and reliable, the ECS 4010 also connects seamlessly to isotope ratio determination units.

Description
ECS 4010 CHNS/O Analyzer
  • The ECS 4010 is an automatic elemental analyzer that represents an evolution of elemental analysis techniques based on flash combustion and chromatographic separation. The combustion gases CO₂, H₂O, SO₂, and N₂ are separated in a GC column maintained at a constant temperature, selectable by the user between 30°C and 110°C. The detection and determination of the concentrations of the various elements are performed using a thermal conductivity detector (TCD).
  • The ECS 4010 is a fully automated analytical unit controlled by a microprocessor and interfaced with a computer. Results can be displayed directly on a PC using dedicated software.
  • Manual gas settings
  • High sensitivity, accuracy, and precision
  • Flexibility and versatility of application
  • Detector does not require reference gas
  • Powerful software for viewing results on a computer
  • Two types of samplers available: pneumatic and Zero Blank (ZB)
  • Easy connection to mass spectrometers and other detectors for stable isotope analysis
  • Low operating and management costs
  • Low initial instrument investment
  • Standby mode to save gas, energy, and time
