The result is vario EL cube – the deNnition of an elemental analyzer. The instrument can determine samples with even the most challenging C /N elemental ratios of up to 12,000 :1 with highest accuracy. This can be achieved thanks to patented Advanced Purge and Trap technology, provided exclusively by Elementar. From pharmaceuticals in the low microgram range to soil samples in the three-digit milligram range – vario EL cube will perfectly Nt all your needs in elemental analysis. ADVANCED PURGE AND TRAP (APT) Elementar’s proprietary APT technology is a unique high performance chromatographic technique for the determination of nonmetal elements. The fractionation-free APT technology is capable of resolving e. g. C?/ ?N ratios of up to 12,000?: ?1. The distinct peak separation assures absolutely reliable and troublefree data acquisition. The data analysis can therefore be easily automated for larger sample amounts while maintaining highest possible data quality. Elementar’s unique APT columns are optimized to provide unmatched robustness and longevity compared to GC columns. Furthermore, they can be loaded up to 20-fold higher, resulting in outstanding sample flexibility. Analysis of samples with an absolute carbon content of up to 40 mg is therefore possible - even in CHNS mode. Thus, customers enjoy industry-leading accuracy, sensitivity and versatility. 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. Outstanding sample flexibility The large dynamic range of the vario EL cube allows measurement of samples in the low microgram as well as in the two-digit milligram range. The possible applications range from testing pure organic material (e. g. gasoline) to sediments with only trace amounts of organic material. Even ?uorinated samples can be measured without any compromises. Together with its outstanding precision, the vario EL cube is a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of sample types. One instrument for multiple tasks For the determination of very low S concentrations down to 2fippm, the vario EL cube can be equipped with an optional IR detector. Even total inorganic carbon (TIC), oxygen and chlorine can be detected after conversion of the instrument. All optionally available conversion kits allow upgrading the vario EL cube at any time for special applications. Thanks to the outstanding robustness and longevity, all analyzers include a 10 year warranty on high temperature combustion furnace and thermal conductivity detector (TCD) cell. With the confldence that you will receive the highest level of technical support from our experienced team, 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 EL cube guarantees outstanding precision and accuracy through quantitative combustion via controlled oxygen jet-injection directly into the active zone. This leads to matrix-independent results even for samples which are diflcult to combust. There is no need for time-consuming recurrent calibrations, drift corrections or costly matrix- speci(c standards. In combination with the state-of-the- art thermal conductivity detector, the instrument provides an elemental detection limit of < 40 ppm.

HIGH PRECISION HYDROGEN MEASUREMENTS The vario EL cube is optimized for highly precise hydrogen concentration measurements. Through detection with a reliable thermal conductivity detector, possible interferences and imprecisions of H 2O measurements encountered with infrared detection are avoided. Furthermore, all tubing in contact with water is actively heated to avoid condensation of traces of water inside the system and thus misquantification.
