Elemental analyzer EN CHN

Analizzatore elementare EN CHN

The CHN Leco 628 Analyzer is an elemental combustion determiner that covers a wide range of applications in organic matrices from food to fuels. Different configurations (nitrogen/protein, carbon/nitrogen, carbon/hydrogen) can be created.

Simultaneous independent detectors are used for determination in order to reduce the analysis time. Combustion gas treatment and dosing of the analyzed aliquot significantly extend the life of the reagents used, reducing the cost per analysis and instrument downtime, in fact reaching 14 analyses per hour keeps the cost per analysis low. Results are acquired within 4 to 5 minutes for all elements under determination and for all sample masses. Capable of handling macro samples from 750 mg solids and up to 1 ml liquids. Complies with AOAC, ASTM, ISO, AACC, and ASBC approved methods. Ability to use a wide range of CRMs in order to improve data quality and minimize errors due to different matrices. Samples can be loaded onto the instrument in large numbers, 30 at a time, as it is equipped with a carousel, which has the functionality of an autosampler.

Functionality

The instrument can be used for the analysis of CHN elements in fuels (coal, coke, oils), chemical processes (resins, adhesives, plastics), agriculture (soil/plants, feed, flour, oilseeds), nutritional labeling (protein), food and feed, and many other applications, and a wide variety of biological samples can also be analyzed with high precision and accuracy using the same method and calibration.

Possible fields of application

Agricultural (soil, vegetable, plant, flour analysis), Livestock (milk, feed, manure analysis), Industrial (oils, coal), Food (protein determination), Biological, Chemical.
