The Oxygen Flask Combustion Unit (OFCU-1) from Exeter Analytical provides a safe and repeatable technique for preparing samples for elemental analysis using the Schoniger flask method.
The OFCU-1 prepares samples for the elemental analysis of chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulphur, phosphorus and a number of metals.
The Schoniger flask method is a technique for combusting samples prior to elemental analysis by ion chromatography or titration.
The flask method using the OFCU-1 is capable of being used for the determination of elemental composition from percentage levels to parts per million.
The durably constructed OFCU-1 copes with a range of sample types and is simple to set up, use and maintain, according to the company.
It remotely ignites samples inside a safety-interlocked chamber using focused infrared heat from two tungsten-halogen lamps.
Integral pressure vents ensure the safe release of excess reaction pressure.
A thick black acrylic observation window is provided on the OFCU-1 to allow users to visually check that ignition has taken place.
With a low list price and minimal running expenses, the cost of preparing samples with the Exeter Analytical OFCU-1 is said to be low and the return on investment rapid.
