Description
We recently purchased this used Leco TruMac CNS analyzer. At the moment of purchase it was still in operation at the previous owners site, a Dutch contract laboratory. It is in a good condition and has always been fully serviced by Leco. The system consists of the Leco TruMac CNS analyzer, a autoloader, software, sample boats and various other accessories. In short: a completely operational system.
This used Leco TruMac CNS analyzer, model 630-300-200 adds sulphur analysis capabilities to the instrument’s existing carbon/nitrogen configuration. Sulphur detection is perfect for soil and plant tissue analysis; however, this option was not applied for the current analysis at the laboratory. Samples in large, reusable ceramic boats are placed into a horizontal ceramic combustion system, using pure oxygen and a maximum temperature of 1450 °C. During combustion carbon is converted to CO2, nitrogen to N2, and sulphur to SO2. Independent IR detectors are used for simultaneous detection of carbon, and sulphur. Nitrogen is measured using a thermal conductivity detection system.
Features:
- Ideal for soils, feeds, meats, pet foods, starches, slurries, or wastewater.
- An autoloader provides unattended analysis of up to 50 samples.
- Macro sample sizes (up to 3 grams for nitrogen; up to 1.5 grams for carbon/nitrogen; up to 0.3 grams for carbon/nitrogen/sulphur) are quickly and simultaneously analysed with a low cost-per-analysis.
- By adding sulphur capabilities, the TruMac becomes an ideal choice for those looking to analyse macro samples in the environmental and agronomy markets.
