The ECS 8040 is the excellence in the CHNS/O analysis. Born from the long tradition and expertise of NC Technologies, it represents the instrument suitable for any application.

Its analytical performances place it among the analyzers appropriate for the so-called “semi macro weighing”, that is, for all those applications in which the weighing of the sample becomes decisive and representative of a non-homogeneous sample type to obtain repeatable results.

It is an instrument for organic elemental analysis based on high-temperature catalytic combustion (Dumas method) for the simultaneous determination of the elements CHNS and possibly O as an option.

The ECS 8040 is the automatic model that represents an evolution of the elemental analysis techniques based on “flash combustion” and chromatographic separation. The combustion gases CO2, H2O, SO2 and N2 are separated in a GC column maintained at a constant temperature, selectable by the user between 30° and 110 °C. The detection and determination of the concentrations of the various elements is carried out by a thermal conductivity detector (TCD).

The ECS 8040 is a fully automated analytical unit, controlled by a microprocessor and interfaced with a computer. The results can be displayed directly via PC using dedicated software.

• Fully automated analysis system

• High sensitivity, accuracy and precision

• Flexibility and versatility of application

• Detector does not require reference gas

• Powerful software for viewing results from a computer

• Touch-screen display for an easy settings management

• Consumables status monitoring for optimized catalyst usage

• Three types of samplers available: manual, pneumatic and Zero      Blank (ZB)

• Easy connection to Mass Spectrometers and other detectors for      stable isotope analysis

• Low operation and management costs

• Standby mode to save on gas, energy and time

The ECS 8040 is recommended when you want to analyze particularly inhomogeneous samples (semi-macro weighing). It is recommended in laboratories where a large number of samples are analyzed, thanks to its high degree of automation.

The ECS 8040 combines robustness, reliability and flexibility to meet the most diverse analytical needs.

The ECS 8040 is a cutting-edge system for elemental analysis based on sample combustion and gas separation with a chromatographic column. The combustion products, namely CO2, H2O, N2 and SO2, are separated and quantified by a high-resolution TCD detector.

The ECS 8040 is fully automatic, equipped with samplers capable of automatically dosing oxygen, monitoring the status of consumables and performing automatic leak tests.
