The XPLORER AOX/TOX analyzer from Trace Elemental Instruments is a microcoulometric combustion system designed for the rapid and precise determination of organic halogens in liquid and solid matrices.
Key Features
-
Detection Method: Thermostatted cell microcoulometry for high stability and ultra-low detection limits.
- Furnace: Horizontal dual-zone furnace with a maximum temperature of up to 1150°C.
- Startup Time: Extremely short, less than 15 minutes.
- Modular Flexibility: Modules for AOX (adsorbable), TOX (total), EOX (extractable), and POX (purgable) are easily interchangeable.
- Dimensions and Weight: Compact design (36 x 27.2 x 69 cm) weighing approximately 29 kg.
- Gas Requirements: Uses oxygen (99.6% purity) and argon (99.998% purity) with inlet pressures between 3 and 10 bar.
- Sample Introduction Automation and Software: Uses a unique gravity-based "slider" principle (Newton mechanism) that allows cups or frits to fall directly into the combustion vessel, preventing buildup in the furnace tube.
- Optional Autosamplers:
Newton: Up to 60 positions for solid samples.
Tuscan: For automatic control of up to 42 AOX columns.
- TEIS Software: Intuitive user interface for managing methods, sample queues, and real-time results.
Complies with international standards, including:
AOX/TOX:
ISO 9562, EPA 9020, DIN 38409 part 14.
