Resistance & Induction Furnace Combined

Eltra has introduced its CS-2000 analyzer. When using conventional elemental analyzers for carbon and sulfur determination in solids, the user normally has to decide whether to use a resistance furnace to analyze organic compounds or an induction furnace for inorganic compounds. The manufacturer’s instrument, however, combines both techniques.

Thus the user only needs one analyzer to examine organic matrices (such as fuels, oils, chemicals) and inorganic matrices (such as steel, ores, ceramics, glass) for their carbon and sulfur content directly without cumbersome sample preparation. The analysis time of the CS-2000 is short: analysis of steel, for example, only takes about 50 seconds; for coal it is about 90 seconds.
