Trade name
Carlo-Erba EA-1108 elemental analyzer
Technical description

The EA-1108 elemental analyzer is a device for Organic Elemental Analysis (OEA) using the method of dynamic combustion of samples (of organic and inorganic origin) in a reactor filled with an oxidation-reduction catalytic bed with an electronically controlled temperature of up to 1800 °C (CHNS analysis) or in a pyrolysis reactor (O analyses). The advantage of the EA-1108 analyzer is reliability and simplicity of the separation of gases generated during combustion on a chromatographic column and then their detection on a highly sensitive thermal conductivity detector.
