The ECS 8040 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.
The ECS 8040 is the excellence in the CHNS/O analysis. Its analytical performances place it among the analyzers appropriate for the so-called “semi macro weighing”, that is, for all those applications in which the weighing of the sample becomes decisive and representative of a non-homogeneous sample type to obtain repeatable results.
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 O as an option.

The ECS 8040 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 8040 is a fully automated analytical unit controlled by a microprocessor and interfaced with a computer. The results can be displayed directly on a PC using dedicated software.
