Used LECO CS-600 #293831807 for sale

LECO CS-600 is a laboratory equipment designed for determination of carbon and sulfur content in a range of materials. It is an advanced instrument for quantitative elemental analysis, providing precise elemental concentrations and rapid results for both qualitative and quantitative applications. Other features include small sample size, the use of non-destructive technologies, and multi-component analysis. CS-600 uses the thermo-optical principle of combustion, which utilizes upward-directed luminescence to measure total concentration of a combustible sample in the form of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and evolved water. This principle is the primary means of measuring and analyzing carbon and sulfur samples with LECO CS-600. Thermo-optical combustion is one of the most timesaving and convenient methods in that samples are analyzed within a matter of minutes. CS-600 utilizes a small furnace known as a carousel that is composed of five furnaces that are arranged horizontally. Each furnace can hold up to twelve samples with a preparation time of fifteen minutes per sample. LECO CS-600 can operate both in combustion mode and the "zero" mode. In combustion mode, the sample is burned using a high-speed jet of oxygen in an inert atmosphere and the carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water vapor are collected and quantified. The "zero" mode is used when analyzing seals, gaskets, and other samples that are combustible at a lower temperature. With the zero mode, the sample is heated to a temperature near zero, resulting in the identification of organic carbon and sulfur. CS-600 is also capable of providing multi-component analysis by utilizing the optional LECO CS-600 Gas Chromatography (GC) unit. This unit interacts with CS-600 to provide quantitative analysis of hydrocarbons in the elemental form, as well as trace levels of sulfur, and nitrogen compounds. Through the use of two pulse combustion systems, a variety of samples can be analyzed simultaneously. In order to operate LECO CS-600, a number of accessories are required. These include sample rows and crucibles, as well as a sample pan. Crucibles are used to collect the burned sample and can be equipped with a graphite lattice to help retain heat during the cooling process. The sample pans are used to support the crucibles and contain the sample during the burning process. Overall, CS-600 is a versatile analytical instrument offering a precise, multi-component elemental analysis and rapid results. It requires minimal sample preparation and is capable of analyzing a wide range of samples, both combustible and non-combustible. LECO CS-600 is an essential tool for any laboratory looking to improve its elemental analysis capabilities.
