Total Carbon and Nitrogen Analyser
Total carbon and nitrogen analyser determines content of carbon and nitrogen (in percentages) in soil and plant samples.
Total carbon and nitrogen analyser (TCN) is an elemental analyser to measure the total content of carbon and nitrogen in a sample. It easily handles characteristically heterogeneous and low-level C & N. Macro sample sizes (up to 3 grams for TruMac nitrogen; up to 1.5 grams for carbon/nitrogen) are quickly and simultaneously analysed with a low cost-per-analysis.
A unique ceramic horizontal furnace, combined with carbon/nitrogen determinator, makes it ideal for a variety of applications including soils, feeds, meats, starches, even some slurries or wastewater samples. In addition, the TruMac complies AOAC, AACC, AOCS and ASBC approved methods of analysis.
