Description
The PE 2400 is a conventional elemental analyzer. It operates by flash combustion of the specimen encapsulated in tin cups or disks whereby the specimen is completely combusted at a temperature of 1,760 C. The resulting gases are chemically scrubbed of the halogens (and of sulfur in the CHN mode) and are separated in a GC column via frontal chormatography. Detection is conducted by a thermal conductivity detector. Total C, H and N are calculated as weight %s. Element ratios are also available in reporting.
