- Automatic ash removal
With the vario MAX cube, Elementar introduced the most innovative elemental analyzer that incorporates automated ash removal technology. Designed for 24/7 operation, the instrument addresses the needs of any high-throughput laboratory facing larger sample weights and significant ash content. Customers can now rely on unattended overnight operation of such applications to maximize sample throughput and increase laboratory efficiency.
The upright crucible design is perfect for liquid and solid samples.
Simplified sample preparation
Save valuable time in sample preparation. Thanks to the broad sample weight range of up to 5 g/5 ml, the vario MAX cube is the perfect instrument to handle any inhomogeneous substance. Grinding or milling can, therefore, often be omitted without affecting reliable data quality. Simply weigh in the solid or liquid samples into reusable crucibles, place them on the autosampler, and start the sequence. The unique post-combustion technology ensures the complete digestion of challenging species.
Always the right configuration
The vario MAX cube can be set up in N, CN, or CNS mode to ensure an optimum configuration, tailor-made to customer demands. Concerning soil analysis, the most common approach is to run the analyzer in CN or CNS mode. Elementar also offers optional, semi-automatic total inorganic carbon (TIC) determination in solids.
MAXimum independence
The vario MAX cube may be operated with either helium or argon as the carrier gas without hardware changes, providing absolute independence from rising helium prices or uncertainties in supply. Utilization of inexpensive argon yields even lower price per analysis.
Future-proof investment
Thanks to the outstanding robustness and longevity for all elemental analyzers, a 10-year warranty on furnace and thermoconductivity detector (TCD) cell is granted. With our well-known, long-term-oriented dedication to technical support, Elementar provides spare parts for a minimum of 10 years after the end of production. This results in outstandingly low total cost of ownership and gives customers confidence in return of investment.
Advanced purge and trap
Elementar’s proprietary APT technology is the leading chromatographic technique for the determination of non-metal elements. In conjunction with the detection of the complete combustion gas without gas splitting and dilution, the APT technology is capable of resolving e.g., C/N ratios of up to 7000:1. The distinct peak separation assures absolutely reliable and trouble-free data acquisition. The analysis can therefore be easily automated for larger sample amounts while maintaining the highest possible quality and accuracy. Elementar’s unique purge and trap columns are optimized to provide unmatched robustness and longevity compared to GC columns. They can be loaded up to 250-fold higher, resulting in outstanding sample flexibility. The analysis of samples with an absolute carbon content of up to 500 mg is therefore possible. Customers enjoy industry-leading accuracy, sensitivity, and versatility.

Industry-proven convenience
The upright, open crucible design ensures a facilitated, fast handling of any kind of sample. Liquid sample preparation is now as easy as pouring a glass of water. No further absorbers or complicated liquid alignment systems are necessary. Moreover, after complete combustion, a robotic arm automatically removes the crucible containing ashes from the furnace. For high ash-containing samples such as soils or sediments, this drastically increases instrument uptime.
