Stuart Connop, a researcher at the ERG commented "The impetus to investing in a CHN microanalysis system was brought about by the University receiving funding to develop a renewable aggregates test centre for green roof growth aggregates". He added "After reviewing commercially available CHN analysers we selected the Model 440 from Exeter Analytical due to its unique horizontal furnace design which made it ideal for high throughput analysis of our soil, peat, air and water filter sample types".
Paul Hemming, European Sales Manager for Exeter Analytical said "We are very pleased that one of our CHN analysers forms part of the vital ongoing programme of sustainable building research being undertaken by staff at UEL". He added "With its wide linear range, proprietary combustion technology and horizontal furnace design allowing for removal of residues between runs, the Exeter Analytical Model 440 CHN Analyser is uniquely suited to accurately analysing complex materials such as soils and filtered air and water samples".
