vario MACRO cube

The one and only CHNS macro analyzer Great flexibilityHigh data quality Extreme durability Ease of use N2 CO 2 H2OSO 2 High performance at a small footprint KEY FEATURES • Industry-leading performance and versatility • C?/?N elemental ratios of up to 7000?:?1 • Outstanding robustness • 10 year warranty on furnace and thermoconductivity detector cell • Integrated 60 position autosampler as standard • Patented ball valve for blank- free sample transfer • Measurements according to ASTM D5291 and D5373 Functional principle of vario MACRO cube There is only one macro analyzer available for simultaneous, one-sample CHNS determination on the market: the vario MACRO cube! It is designed to oNer industry-leading versatility in elemental analysis. No add-on modules or extra furnaces are required for sulfur analysis. Four elements from just one sample. The instrument is capable of measuring samples with even the most challenging CN/NN elemental ratios of up to 7000N:N1. This is achieved thanks to the Advanced Purge and Trap technology provided exclusively by Elementar. The vario MACRO cube addresses all customer needs with macro sample volumes and weights. HIGH-TEMPERATURE COMBUSTION All elemental analyzers from Elementar are designed for minimal sample preparation and secure, unattended 24?/?7 operation. They use the safe, simple, and environmental friendly high-temperature combustion principle. The proven Elementar furnace technology, combined with efficient oxygen dosing, guarantees quantitative conversion of the sample to measuring gas — a prerequisite for highly precise and matrix-independent elemental analysis. 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 even C?/?N ratios of up to 7000?:?1. The distinct peak separation assures absolutely reliable and trouble- free data acquisition. The data analysis can therefore be easily automated for larger sample amounts while maintaining highest possible data quality and accuracy. Elementar’s unique purge and trap columns are optimized to provide unmatched robustness and longevity compared to GC columns. Furthermore, 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 150?mg is therefore possible. Thus, customers enjoy industry-leading accuracy, sensitivity, and versatility. 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 outstanding low total cost of ownership and gives customers confldence in return of investment. Future-proof investment The vario MACRO cube is one of a kind and allows straightforward CHNS determination from one sample. In addition, sample weights of up to several hundred miligrams give rise to analyzing inhomogeneous species as is – tedious grinding or milling procedures may often be omitted. Save valuable time in sample preparation Outstanding versatility The possible applications range from testing solids such as petroleum coke, lignite, and bituminous coal to viscous and liquid samples, such as tar or marine residual?/?bunker fuels of all various types. Combined with its outstanding precision, the vario MACRO cube is a versatile and reliable workhorse for the analysis of fossil fuels and derived products. One instrument for multiple tasks For the determination of very low S concentrations down to 2?ppm, the vario MACRO cube can be equipped with an optional IR detector. Even total inorganic carbonffi(TIC), oxygen and chlorine can be detected. All optionally available conversion kits allow upgrading the varioffiMACROfficube at any time for special applications.

Through detection with a reliable thermo- conductivity detector, possible interferences and imprecisions of H 2O measurements encountered with infrared detection are avoided. Furthermore, all tubing in contact with water is heated to avoid condensation of trace water inside the system and thus low results.
