DESCRIPTION

Costech Nitrogen/Protein Analyzer; Model 4010 is designed for advanced CHNOS analysis and nitrogen/protein determination.  

 

Equipped with two furnaces; a combustion furnace is up to 1100'C and the reduction furnace temperature of 650'C. The combustion gases are separated by gas chromatography for CHNOS analysis.  

 

The elemental analysis technique is based on “flash combustion” / chromatographic separation. CO2, H2O, SO2 and N2 are separated in a GC column kept at a constant temperature for Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen determination.
