CHN Standard Conditions Summary

Method Summary Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen are determined using a Perkin-Elmer 2400 Elemental Analyzer. This analyzer uses combustion to convert the sample elements to simple gases, i.e., CO2, H2O, N2. Upon entering the analyzer, the sample is combusted in a pure oxygen environment. The product gases are separated under steady state conditions, and measured as a function of thermal conductivity. The instrument is calibrated prior to sample analysis with an NIST traceable organic standard. System suitability is confirmed by analyzing an NIST traceable organic standard. The standard must check to within + 0.1% of its theoretical value. All sample analyses are bracketed with a standard that must be within + 0.3% of its theoretical value.
