Elemental analyzer for quantitative dosage of C, H, N and S elements (Flash 2000 de Thermo Scientific)
Flash 2000 apparatus from ThermoFisher Scientific for the simultaneous analysis of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur in 1 mg of solid or liquid sample. Sample are analysed two times.
Principle
The sample (1 mg – microgramme precision) is pyrolize under oxygen at 960°C.
Nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and sulphur are, by a succession of reactions, oxidized in carbon dioxide, water, dinitrogen and sulphur dioxide. These gases are then separated by column chromatography, detected by a cathetometer and quantified by integration of the resulting peak from the conduction variation of the so-called cathetometer.
The viability of the result is established at the end of the analysis by a standard.
On stable and clean products, the percentage given by the analyser is more or less 0.4% of the calculated pourcentages. (absolute accuracy = 0.2 %).
