ELEMENTAR ELEMENTAR ANALY

Listing description

The vario MAX N/CN may be operated in carbon/nitrogen mode or the faster N/Protein mode according to the Dumas combustion method. This analyzer is particularly suitable for meats, grains, feeds, dairy products and beer for the determination of Protein (N). In CN mode typical applications include plants tissue, soils, manure and compost samples as well as liquid extracts of these materials. The vario MAX is a fast, safe and environmentally friendly alternative to the classical Kjeldahl Method. The large reusable sample crucibles result in easy sample preparation for solids, liquids or semi-solids.
 
The analyzer is used to determine the quantity of carbon and nitrogen in soil and plant samples. The analytical results are often used to study the carbon and nitrogen cycle and energy flow, which can indicate nutrient accumulation, distribution and return in the ecosystems. It has been used in studies on carbon and nitrogen allocation in plant growth, conversion of carbon and nitrogen between plant and soil, and nutrient variation in the soil.

Specifications  
Measuring method: High temperature combustion with subsequent gas analysis for N/Protein according to Dumas or CN according to AOAC, DIN/ISO, EN and other international standards.

Easy sample handling: due to weigh-in in re-usable crucibles without any special pre-treatment. Suitable for solids or liquids up to several grams or milliliters.

Safe, fast, clean: The analysis takes only a few minutes. No aggressive or toxic chemicals are required. Physical separation of water and CO2.

Large concentration range:
Carbon: from ppm to 100% or 400 mg absolute
Nitrogen: from ppm to 100% or 150 mg absolute

Few operational requirements: 1 m laboratory working space, 1 electrical connection and 2 operating gases are sufficient for maintenance long term operation

Fully automatic: With integrated 60 sample changer, PC-control through Windows®,
Optional 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software is available.
