The ECS 8020 elemental analyzer is fully automatic and ideal for the analysis of inhomogeneous samples.
The fields of application are therefore those of soil, biomass, waste, fertilizers, etc.
It is an instrument for organic elemental analysis based on high-temperature catalytic combustion (Dumas method) for the simultaneous determination of the elements CHNS and possibly O as an option.
The ECS 8020 is highly recommended to analyze particularly inhomogeneous samples (semi-macro weighing) and in laboratories where many samples are analyzed, due to its high degree of automation.

The ECS 8020 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 carried out using a thermal conductivity detector (TCD).
The ECS 8020 is a fully automated analytical unit controlled by a microprocessor and interfaced with a computer. The results can be viewed directly on a PC using dedicated software.
