ELEMENTRAC CN-r
Reliable carbon/nitrogen/protein analysis in less than 3 minutes
The ELEMENTRAC CN-r is designed for high-throughput laboratories requiring quick and accurate analysis of nitrogen, protein, and carbon. It utilizes the Dumas method, an established combustion technique, as a reliable alternative to the traditional Kjeldahl method for the determination of total nitrogen and protein content in samples. Equipped with advanced hardware and an integrated PC featuring a touchscreen interface, the ELEMENTRAC CN-r enables operators to efficiently monitor the analysis process and adjust parameters as needed. Its compact design optimizes laboratory space utilization. Additionally, the instrument's use of non-aggressive chemicals enhances workplace safety compared to the Kjeldahl method. The ELEMENTRAC CN-r is suitable for analyzing a wide range of natural products with varied compositions. It achieves complete combustion analysis of samples in a pure oxygen environment. The use of a highly efficient, chromium-free catalyst ensures full oxidation of all components, preventing soot and liquid tin formation and ensuring stable and accurate results. The availability of excess oxygen during combustion simplifies method optimization. An innovative autosampler feature of the ELEMENTRAC CN-r facilitates accurate sample identification, reducing the likelihood of sample mix-ups in busy laboratory settings and streamlining the handling of a large volume of samples.
