C and N elemental analyzer

Brand and Model: Leco, CN828

Description: The C and N elemental analyser enables simultaneous analysis of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in liquid and solid samples (50 mg to > 1 g). It is ideal for elemental analysis of soil, plants and labs requiring precise and efficient quantification.

Technical Specifications:

  • Sample capacity: 50 mg to > 1 g
  • Absolute measurement range: N (0.02–300 mg), C (0.02–175 mg)
  • Precision: 0.01 mg or 0.3% RSD (N), 0.01 mg or 0.4% RSD (C)
  • Analysis time: ≤ 4 minutes for C and N simultaneously
  • Detectors: NDIR for C, TCD cell for N
  • Carrier gas: helium or argon
  • Combustion: full in pure oxygen, unlimited oxygen doses
  • Furnace: resistance up to 1,000 ºC, vertical quartz tube
  • Ash extraction: extractable system with no heater cooling
  • Compartmented analysis: simultaneous combustion and measurement for two samples
  • Autoloader: 30 positions
  • Reagent minimisation: Combustion gas homogenisation
  • Attached scale: scale to four decimal places, 0.1 mg sensitivity.
