EMA 502 Elemental Analyzer working principle

EMA 502 - CHNS Flowpath

The CHNS analysis starts with the combustion of the sample inside the VELP combustion furnace at a temperature higher than 1000°C to obtain elemental compounds.

VELP Vcopper™, a formulation of highly active copper powder, is placed in the lower part of the reactor to help the reduction of NOX into N2.

The flow then reaches the gas chromatographic column oven, which ensures homogenous and modular temperature leading to a complete separation of all the elements for the final detection by TCD.

When analyzing Oxygen, the sample undergoes pyrolysis inside the furnace and then passes through a chemical trap where all impurities are absorbed, before reaching the gas chromatographic column and the TCD for detection.

Unmatched ease-of-use and data security with EMASoft™ software

The EMASoft™ software is the powerful VELP solution that controls and operates the EMA 502 elemental analyzer.

EMASoft™ comes with a user-friendly interface that displays all the relevant information at a glance: results, database, and instrument working conditions.

It is possible to choose from a library of pre-installed methods and create customized ones. An easy calibration curve creation for all the elements allows for testing of any sample matrix with no memory effect.

• Start the analysis with few clicks
• Change the configuration in few steps with the animated gif tutorials
• Benefit from the real-time graph displaying gases detected by the TCD
• A dedicated maintenance menu sends alerts when the reactor is almost exhausted
• The result table shows the average, SD, and RSD of the analysis with direct selection on the graph

The EMA 502 software can be upgraded with the optional 21 CFR Part 11 Package for Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic and Food industry laboratories that require compliance with FDA regulation.
