FLASH 4000
Automatic N/Protein Analyzers

 

 

 

The Flash 4000 N/Protein Analyzer provides the complete Nitrogen & N/Protein analysis packaging with enhanced productivity, innovative design and superior performance.

Design
• Foot print of 667 x 635 x 695 mm (w x d x h) or smaller
• All connections on the rear panel of the instrument

Operation
• Automatic operation and 125 sample capability which is able to handle more than 2 gram sample weight
• The analysis time will be 5 to 7 minutes depending on the sample nature.
• The analyzer is provided with a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) which is able to measure Nitrogen in the range of 0.02 mg – 300 mg absolute
• Two calibration methods : K factor and Linear fit to ensure analytical condition stability

Combustion & Background
• Dual furnace system with catalyst based reactor
• The furnace should be ready for operation within 40 minutes after start-up from ambient temperature to operation temperature
• The catalyst will have a lifetime of more than 1000 analyses
• The analyzer should not have a gas split device

Regenerative CO2 adsorption filters
• Two carbon dioxide (CO2) filters (International Patent Pending) to increase the instrument autonomy and decreases the costs per analysis
• While one CO2 adsorption filter is used for the sample analysis, the other filter can be regenerated automatically

Oxytune® System
• Tailored Oxygen volume according to sample weight and sample nature
• The excess of oxygen is limited and increases the lifespan of reduction catalyst dramatically

Water Condensation Drainage System
• Removal of water out of the combustion gases, with a Peltier device, without the presence of a solid adsorber

Software
• Operating Xperience software supplied as standard
• Compatible with Windows and CFR21 part 11 compliance
• Select Nitrogen/Protein factors according to the typical food application
• Consider the humidity value in the final Nitrogen/Protein calculation
• Export data to LIMS and connection to LAN system
• Automatic leak test facility
• Control and check on maintenance status
• Start-up, standby and analytical cycle functions

Additional items to be available
• AS 3000 model Liquids auto sampler, with 120 sample vial positions
