The ELEMENTRAC CN-r is ideal for high-throughput facilities that require quick and accurate nitrogen, protein, and carbon determinations. The analytical method used, known as Dumas analysis or the Dumas method, is a tried-and-tested alternative to the standard Kjeldahl method for estimating total nitrogen and protein in a sample by combustion. It provides reliable analysis results in less than 3 minutes!
Modern technology and an integrated PC with a touchscreen enable the operator to monitor the operation and adjust any setting. The ELEMENTRAC CN-r's small size saves lab space. Compared to the Kjeldahl technique, the use of non-aggressive chemicals ensures greater work safety.
Natural products with various compositions are typical samples for the Dumas combustion analyzers. The ELEMENTRAC CN-r uses a clean oxygen environment throughout the operation to ensure a comprehensive combustion analysis of all samples. The extremely effective, chromium-free catalyst completely oxidizes all components.
This preserves the precision and stability of the results by preventing the production of liquid tin and soot. Furthermore, with the ELEMENTRAC CN-r, the extra oxygen during combustion substantially simplifies method optimization.
The ELEMENTRAC CN-r's innovative autosampler makes it easier to manage a large number of samples and guarantees clear sample identification, even in a busy laboratory setting.
Key Benefits for Protein/Nitrogen and Carbon Analysis
Robust
This system ensures dependability and longevity and is built for continuous operation and high-throughput analysis.
Intelligent Integration
The integrated PC's network-capable data and process management, touchscreen, and fluid operation guarantee excellent comfort.
Efficient
The Dumas technique is fully automated and process-optimized for determining total nitrogen and carbon.
Low Operating Costs
Compared to other devices, efficient resource utilization, intelligent gas-saving features, and smart consumable use achieve reduced costs per sample.
Wide Range of Samples
The ELEMENTRAC CN-r delivers precise Dumas protein findings for any sample matrix, solid or liquid. The advanced features of the ELEMENTRAC CN-r provide precise results for a large variety of samples.
Prioritized Samples
Priority samples take precedence and are measured immediately in the autoloader without needing to be resorted.
High Performance
In less than three minutes, analyze the samples! This clever process enables simultaneous analysis of the previous sample and combustion of the current sample (known as interleave analysis). Achieve findings more than 70 times quicker than with the Kjeldahl technique and profit from an analysis workflow with unparalleled speed.
Effortless Maintenance
All consumables can be changed in less than 20 minutes, keeping the system operational at all times. An efficient workflow and easy maintenance ensure smooth functioning with little downtime.
