PrimacsMCS - TOC add-on module

The PrimacsSERIES Carbon / Nitrogen analyzers have now been extended with the new PrimacsMCS add-on module for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis for solid materials such as soil, sediments and sludges. The PrimacsMCS operates in combination with the FormacsSERIES Total Organic Carbon analyzer (liquid samples), offering an economical concept to environmental laboratories for Total Organic Carbon analysis on aqueous samples as well as solid materials. The PrimacsMCS is equipped with a dual-oven design, allowing separate analysis of Total Carbon (TC) and Inoragnic Carbon (IC). Total Carbon is determined by catalytic oxidation of the sample at 1100°C, converting the carbon present in the sample to CO2, which is detected by the NDIR detector of the FormacsSERIES Total Organic Carbon analyzer. Inorganic Carbon is determined by acidification of the sample in the IC reactor, which converts the Inorganic Carbon present to CO2. The Windows based PrimacsMCS software collects the data and calculates the TOC concentration of the sample by substraction ( TC - IC = TOC). The PrimacsMCS analyzes TC, IC and TOC in a range of 100 µg to 40 mg absolute carbon in up to 3 g of sample weight. Due to the automatic low-to-high range switching IR detector of the FormacsSERIES Total Organic Carbon analyzer, the combination of the FormacsSERIES analyzer with the PrimacsMCS add-on module offers environmental laboratories a powerful tool to analyze TOC from low ppb concentrations in aqueous samples up to % levels in solid materials. The PrimacsMCS conforms to international regulations such as EPA, CEN, ISO, NEN-EN 13137 and US EPA 9060 PrimacsSLC Total Organic Carbon Analyzer, for Solid & Liquid Samples -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The increasing demand for reliable TOC analysis in solid materials such as sludges, sediments and soils have led Skalar to complement its range of Total Organic Carbon analyzers with the PrimacsSLC Analyzer. Based on a dual oven design the analyzer is capable of performing rapid, reliable, separate determinations of Total Carbon (TC), Inorganic Carbon (IC) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) on one instrument, and has been developed especially for solid materials on sample weights of up to two grams. Automatic balance interfacing avoids the necessity of precise weighing and transfer of weight data. The reusable quartz crucibles combined with the unique vertical sample introduction system and fully computerized operation/calculation, make the PrimacsSLC the most economical choice in today"s environmental laboratory. The PrimacsSLC conforms to international regulations such as CEN, ISO and NEN-EN 13137 and US EPA 9060 PrimacsSN Protein - Nitrogen Analyzer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skalar's New Protein - Nitrogen Analyzer is the modern alternative for nitrogen analysis in the busy routine laboratory. The combustion (Dumas) method used in this new Skalar analyzer is rapidly becoming the accepted alternative for the old fashioned Kjeldahl method. The method is fast, safe, economical and easy to operate. The PrimacsSN is applicable in a wide variet
