The Xplorer-NS offers fast, accurate, and precise analysis of liquid, LPG, gas, and solid samples Elemental combustion analyzer for Total Nitrogen by Chemiluminescence and Total Sulfur by UV-Fluorescence

The Xplorer-NS is the smallest Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Sulfur (TS) analyzer available in today’s market. This advanced elemental combustion analyzer offers fast, accurate, and precise analysis of liquid, LPG, gas, and solid samples. It is designed to offer standardized and customized solutions to match current as well as future analytical needs, ranging from low ppb to high ppm applications.

The Xplorer-NS measures Nitrogen and Sulfur simultaneously. Valuable information about a sample that contains both elements is created during a single run. With its low detection limit it is possible to measure concentrations at ppb level. Detection through Chemiluminescence and UV-Fluorescence with sample combustion at high temperature are the reference methods for the determination of Total Nitrogen and Total Sulfur. Separate analysis of Total Nitrogen or Total Sulfur can be done with the Xplorer-N or Xplorer-S.

Elemental Combustion Analyzer for Total Chloride and Total Sulfur by Microcoulometry

The Xplorer TX/TS is a microcoulometric Total Chloride and Total Sulfur combustion analyzer. It blends into every laboratory environment, whether it is for R&D, chemical or petrochemical applications. Solid, liquid, gas and LPG samples; this robust Elemental Combustion Analyzer handles them all. Determination of Chloride and Sulfur concentrations according to Microcoulometry is an absolute technique and calibrating the analyzer is not a requirement. With its low detection limit it is possible to measure concentrations at ppb level.

The Xplorer-TX (MCT) and the Xplorer-TS (MCT) are also available as seperate models.

International Standards: ASTM D3120, GB/T 18612, GB/T 11061, SH/T 0253, UOP 910, UOP 779, GB/T 11060.4, ASTM D3246, ASTM D7457, ASTM D6721, ASTM D5808, ASTM D5194, ASTM D4929, ASTM D3961, EPA 9076, GOST R 52247, NEN 5735, NEN 5777, NEN 6979, NEN 6402, NEN 6676, DIN 38409-8, DIN 51408-2, NEN-EN 14077

The XPLORER AOX/TOX is a microcoulometric combustion analyzer from TRACE (TE Instruments) for the rapid, precise determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX), Extractable Organic Halogens (EOX) and Purgeable Organic Halogens (POX) in a wide range of liquid and solid matrices, including drinking water, wastewater, cooling and process water, effluent, pulp & paper, and sediment samples. The AOX, EOX and POX modules are easily interchangeable on the same platform.

High-throughput AOX analysis is enabled by a unique slider mechanism: the sample cup or frit simply falls into the boat under gravity before entering the horizontal furnace, and once the boat returns, the slider moves to an eject position where the used cup or frit is collected for reuse — avoiding any pile-up inside the furnace tube. The instrument has a compact footprint, a short start-up time of under 15 minutes, low maintenance requirements, and TEIS software with an intuitive interface; it can be extended with autosamplers (VECTRA, NEWTON, TUSCAN, XPREP-3, XPREP-A6) for high-volume, round-the-clock operation.

Most organic halogens found in nature are toxic, carcinogenic, persistent and bio-accumulative, which is why regulatory authorities worldwide set maximum permissible limits for these compounds in soil and water. The XPLORER AOX/TOX complies with the relevant international standards, including ASTM D4744, DIN 38409 series, EN 1485, EPA 9020B/9021/9023, ISO 11480 and 9562, GB/T 15959 and NEN 6401, and is used for routine screening and regulatory compliance testing in environmental and industrial laboratories.

The Xpert TOC/TNb is a fully automatic elemental combustion analyzer from TRACE (TE Instruments) that measures Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Bound Nitrogen (TNb) simultaneously from a single liquid-sample injection, delivering results within minutes. It can be configured as a combined TOC/TNb analyzer or as a single-parameter instrument, and it integrates the liquids autosampler and the TN detector into the analyzer's own footprint, so no separate module or extra bench space is needed — a liquids autosampler is included as standard with every Xpert.

Key features include valve-less sample introduction, which eliminates carryover even with particle-containing samples; the ability to switch from high-ppm to low-ppb concentrations within a single run; a ProCAT combustion tube that ensures complete oxidation of the sample for accurate, consistent results; and TEIS analytical software for straightforward instrument control. The analyzer follows the high-temperature catalytic combustion method and complies with the relevant international standards, including ASTM D5176, D7573 and D8083, EN 12260, EPA 415.1, ISO 20236 and 11905, and Standard Methods 5310B.

The Xpert TOC/TNb is used across the agricultural, environmental, food, soil and water sectors wherever organic carbon and bound nitrogen must be monitored precisely — for example to assess organic contamination and nitrogen load in process water, wastewater and other liquid streams, supporting regulatory compliance, process optimization and environmental protection.

Automated Sample Preparation Solution for the Analysis of Total Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine by Combustion Ion Chromatography Method

Combustion Ion Chromatography

TE Instruments introduces the world’s first independent sample preparation system for Combustion Ion Chromatography analysis: the Xprep C-IC. This unique configuration redefines automated combustion IC analysis through its innovative design and functionalities.

Besides full control over sample combustion, the Xprep C-IC not only collects the oxidized gas stream, but also automatically transfers a fraction of the absorbance solution to any renowned IC system. The ideal solution to cover the increasing demand for analysis of corrosive halogens (Fluor, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine) and Sulfur compounds (e.g. Sulfate, Sulfite, Thiosulfate) in different matrices. These analytes need to be monitored because they are corrosive, poison catalysts, damage industrial equipment, and are harmful to the environment.

TE Instruments developed a fully automated, extremely compact sample preparation system covering the oxidative pyrohydrolytic combustion, fraction collection, and sample injection towards the IC. The Xprep C-IC can introduce samples both via optimized direct injection (liquids module) and conventional boat-inlet (boat module) into a horizontal furnace. This automated sample-prep solution reduces complexity of sample transfer and significantly improves user convenience.
