Advanced carbon and sulfur analysis of inorganic materials
Designed from a blank page, this high-precision CS analyzer for metallic and other inorganic materials only uses state-of-the-art technologies and offers easy handling as well as low maintenance. The inductar® CS cube is equipped with a long-life solid-state high-frequency induction furnace, which makes it possible to reach sample temperatures of above 2,000 °C. Thanks to the optional camera indulive, you can observe the gas release during the sample combustion in real-time. Carbon and sulfur are both analyzed by wide-range infrared (IR) detectors, which are capable to detect the whole concentration range. Thus, also little concentrations in the low ppm-range as well as higher concentrations of some weight percent’s are detectable
Features
No tedious and noisy cleaning with vacuum cleaner needed
A cleaner combustion than any system built in the past has ever managed is achieved with our inductar CS cube. The innovative instrument design in combination with the high ceramic crucibles reduces contamination of the system with dust and debris to an absolute minimum. The main reason for this is the top-down oxygen gas stream. With this approach a unique sheath gas flow is established, which minimizes adhesion of dust and debris at the inside walls of the combustion tube. Dust and debris, formed during combustion process, are captured inside the ceramic crucibles, as the higher sidewalls keep the splatter inside and most dust is pushed back to the bottom of the crucible. The easily accessible heated dust filter will capture all remaining dust before the gas is carried through the instrument. This intelligent set-up makes a vacuum cleaner needless and allow for parts like combustion tube, dust filter and even the consumables to be cleaned less often. This saves time and results in lower costs as well as more accurate measurement results.
Easy handling & low maintenance
The inductar CS cube is developed for unsurpassed user convenience and maximum robustness. The proprietary solid-state technology for the induction furnace ensures a virtually unlimited lifetime of components. This finally makes an exchange of aging oscillator tubes obsolete. Clearly arranged, easily accessible system components enable you to perform the few maintenance work that is needed within seconds. The tool-free clamp connection system ensures a reliably leak tight instrument at any time. The lifetime of used reagents is virtually monitored by indicators and prominently displayed in the intuitive instrument software. Therefore, the maintenance of the instrument is incredibly easy.
Reliable, unattended 24/7 operation with 89 position autosampler
The inductar CS cube can come with either one of two different sampling options to best suit your applicational needs. The convenient 89 position autosampler allows a fully automated high-throughput operation and is optimized for reliable and unattended 24/7 operation. Just prepare your samples and start the analysis before you finish your day and watch the completed analysis results first thing in hence the next morning. Thus, you can enjoy smooth analyses and confidence in your results.
Live process control with the integrated camera indulive
The highly optimized combustion process – a well-known highlight of the inductar CS cube – always guarantees reliable and accurate results. High quality materials, well-structured construction, and long-living components make the system unrivaled, robust, and durable. Nevertheless, for process control it is extremely valuable to visually monitor the combustion process. With indulive, a camera directly integrated into the instrument, the inductar CS cube offers the possibility to monitor the sample combustion live on your monitor.
The inductar CS cube is optimized for simultaneous carbon and sulfur analysis. The following modes are available:
CS mode
The CS mode offers simultaneous carbon and sulfur analysis. It can either come with an automated sampler option with 89 sample positions or a manual sampler option with 2 sample positions.
Linear single/multipoint calibration
You, as the instrument operator, will be guided through the calibration by an intuitive calibration assistant. The transparently calculated calibration is editable and storable. Furthermore, templates can be stored for future calibrations. The calibration is linear and stable for months.
