CN 802

Fast and simultaneous Carbon and Nitrogen analysis

The VELP CN 802 combustion analyser is robust, flexible and does not require aggressive chemicals. Powered by the CNSoft software, the CN 802 produces simultaneous results in 5 minutes, all whilst unsupervised. Results include:

  • Total Carbon – TC
  • Total Nitrogen – TN
  • C/N Ratio

VELP CN 802 – Designed to work 24/7

Designed to work 24/7, 365 days a year, the CN 802 allows you to load different matrix of solid, semi-solid and liquid samples at the same time. The analyser also provides carbon detection from ppm – 150 mgC, the lowest Nitrogen LOD in the market of 0.001 mgN with Helium and the RSD lower than 0.5% (EDTA) to assure you high precision results and superb reproducibility.

The CN 802 is easy to install and exceptionally compact saving your valuable lab bench space.

Although the autosampler is supplied with a disc of 30 positions this can be expanded to have capacity for up to 117 samples.

 

Key Features

  • The selective Non-Dispersive Infrared NDIR detector is maintenance-free and reads only Carbon content
  • The LoGasTM TCD works with no reference gas ensuring accuracy and precision
  • Very low oxygen consumption
  • Has a maintenance-free DriStepTM water trap (a physical trap that removes 99% of water, therefore reducing the cost of chemicals)
  • After-sale support package utilising the ERMES cloud platform and a1 envirosciences service contracts.
