Exeter Analytical, a specialist in high-precision elemental microanalysis, has launched a scheme whereby customers receive free training for the lifetime of a newly purchased Model 440 CHN analyser.
Determining the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur content of unknowns is said to be one of the most basic and essential needs for any chemist.
Removing sources of variability from these analyses is a critical step in ensuring data quality.
The aim of Exeter Analytical's scheme is to empower new customers with training in every aspect of running their samples, thereby enabling laboratories to routinely achieve the highest quality of data, irrespective of sample type.
Not only does the scheme enable new customers to get up and running as soon as possible, but the lifetime pledge covers them during staff changes.
In such circumstances, Exeter Analytical will retrain new users at no extra cost.
Designed to give accurate, reliable results over a wide range of sample types presented for analysis, the Model 440 delivers a high operating accuracy and precision.
The Model 440 uses thermal conductivity detection to measure carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen after combusting and reducing a sample.
Inherently more stable than gas-chromatographic-based systems, the Model 440 delivers superior performance and sampling precision over a wide range of elemental content, according to the company.
Horizontal sample injection enables the automatic removal of sample residue after each analysis, avoiding memory effects and gas-flow problems.
Low gas and reagent consumption, combined with higher reduction tube life, allows the Model 440 fully automated analyser to deliver low operating costs.
Windows-based operating software reduces human error through the incorporation of extensive automation, comprehensive customer help and diagnostic facilities.
