Carbon / Hydrogen / Sulfur Analysis of organic samples

The determination of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in organic solids and liquids is a routine application in laboratories and production.

ELTRA employs the method of combustion analysis in a resistance furnace for element determination. With a high-capacity ceramic tube temperatures of up to 1,550 °C can be applied, allowing for reliable, precise and reproducible determination even of sulfates in organic samples (such as coal or soil).

The combustion gas is detected in element-specific infrared cells. As a special feature ELTRA offers simultaneous hydrogen analysis – in addition to classical carbon and sulfur analysis – providing the user with even more flexibility for a variety of laboratory applications.

Carbon / Hydrogen / Sulfur Analysis

CS-r / CHS-r for organic samples
In the CS-r / CHS-r analyzers the sample is weighed in boats and then burnt in a horizontal resistance furnace at temperatures of up to 1,550 °C. The sample is introduced manually into the furnace.

CS-580A / CHS-580A („Helios“) for organic samples
In the CS-580A / CHS-580A analyzers the sample is weighed in crucibles and burnt in a vertical resistance furnace at temperatures of up to 1,550 °C. An automatic sample loader feeds the sample to the furnace.
