TE Instruments' XPLORER-TN system is an elemental analyzer for total nitrogen determination based on combustion and chemiluminescence detection.
Featuring a compact footprint, the instrument covers an analytical range from tenths of ppb to thousands of ppm.
System control is handled by the proprietary TEIS software platform.
The hardware architecture allows for the management of liquid, solid, and gaseous samples with interchangeable "fast-switch" modules.
Sample introduction is flexible:
in manual mode, it uses a syringe driver (liquids) or a software-assisted vessel (solids)
in automatic mode, it interfaces with external samplers for unattended operation.
Features and Benefits
-
Detection Technology: high-temperature combustion and chemiluminescence
- Ultra-Compact Design: the smallest system in its class, optimized for reduced laboratory space
- Matrix Versatility: accurate analysis of liquids, solids, gases, and LPG
- Dynamic Range: measurement capability from Ultra-Trace Levels (0.1 ppb) to 1,000+ ppm
- Fast-Switch Modularity: switch between liquid, solid, or gas modules in less than 60 seconds
- Hybrid Operation: manually assisted (with Integrated Syringe Driver) or fully automated 24/7.
Common Applications
-
Chemicals (e.g., plastics, aromatics, olefins, and paraffins)
- Refinery Products (e.g., crude oil, naphtha, lubricants, gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil)
- LPG and Gases (e.g., pentane, butane, propane, propylene).
