Leco TruMac CN (Carbon/Nitrogen) Macro Determinator, Model 630-300-900
TruMac Series Macro Determinator
Designed to meet your goals for analyzing true macro samples. Easily handle characteristically heterogeneous, difficult-to-prepare, or low-level samples with the TruMac carbon/nitrogen determinator. Macro sample sizes (up to 1.5 grams for carbon/nitrogen) are quickly and simultaneously analyzed with a low cost-per-analysis.
A unique ceramic horizontal furnace, combined with LECO’s carbon/nitrogen determinator design, make the TruMac ideal for a variety of applications including soils, feeds, meats, starches, slurries, or wastewater. In addition, the TruMac complies with AOAC, AACC, AOCS, and ASBC-approved methods of analysis.
Instrument Highlights and Features
Unique Ceramic Horizontal Furnace:
- Pure oxygen environment ensures the complete oxidation of macro samples with maximum temperatures up to 1450 C
- Ceramic lance directs oxygen flow directly onto the sample
- Robust design utilizes six heating elements for increased reliability and efficiency
- Purge chamber eliminates atmosphere entrainment in samples
Easy and Convenient Sample Handling:
- Large, reusable sample boats facilitate the handling of macro samples
- Open ceramic boats provide ample surface area for the efficient purge and combustion of macro samples
- Sample ash retained in boat for post-analysis removal
- Nickel liners and/or nickel boats available for the analysis of liquid samples in TruMac nitrogen configurations
Seamless Integrated Automation:
- Autoloader for sequential and non-sequential analysis of up to 50 pre-weighed samples
- Rugged design for improved reliability and minimal maintenance requirements
- Full automation of analysis cycle, freeing operator to perform other tasks
Improved Design and Accessibility for Maintenance of Combustion Gas Handling and Aliquot System:
- Carbon/nitrogen configuration utilizes an efficient thermoelectric cooler to remove moisture from combustion gas, eliminating the need for chemical anhydrone
- Ballast allows for collection of aliquot for nitrogen and carbon detection eliminates the need for whole gas analysis
- Quick-release ballast assembly and exterior-mounted pinch-valve assembly simplifies preventive maintenance routines
The TruMac CN can be utilized for your most challenging applications. Quickly and easily analyze carbon and nitrogen for your difficult-to-prepare environmental and agricultural samples.
