PrimacsSLC - Total Organic Carbon Analyzer

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 variety of application areas including soil and plant, food, brewing industries, and environmental waste, to name a few. The PrimacsSN conforms to international regulations such as ISO 15670, ISO 13878, EN 61010, DIN 10467, AOAC 990.03 , AOAC 992.15, AACC 46-30, AOCS Ba 11-65 The sample is automatically introduced from a 20 position sample tray into the unique vertical positioned combustion oven , the resulting gas mixture passes through a second oxidation oven whereby all nitrogen compounds are converted into NOx. After this the Peltier cooler removes all water before passing the copper reduction column removing excess O2 from the gas flow, and converting NOx to N2. The stream passes through a CO2 scrubber and subsequently through a magnesium perchlorate H2O scrubber. The resulting gas stream, consisting of N2 and He (carrier gas), passes the thermal conductivity detector which determines the nitrogen content. The Analyzer is fully computer controlled with result calculation, QC and flexible reporting.

The Skalar PrimacsSNC Analyzer combines the analysis of Total Carbon (TC) and Total Nitrogen (TN) in one unit using high temperature catalytic combustion. The samples are introduced into the high temperature combustion oven by the unique vertical "bottom-to-top"sample introduction system. At 1050°C the carbon is completely oxidized to CO2 in the presence of a catalyst. The CO2 is measured by Non Dispersive Infra Red Detection (NDIR)
