Bruker G4 ICARUS Series 2 Carbon and Sulfur Combustion Analyzer

The Bruker G4 ICARUS Series 2 Carbon and Sulfur Combustion Analyzer has a high-frequency (HF) induction furnace and features ZoneProtect™ and HighSense™ detection which enables it to have outstanding performance with lab-proven usability.

If you require rapid and precise carbon (C) and sulfur (S) analysis in solids, then the Bruker G4 ICARUS is your analyzer of choice.

Why Detecting Carbon & Sulfur is Needed

Carbon and sulfur have effects on material properties and should be monitored along the entire production process. Dependable CS analysis goes beyond just iron and steel and applies to ferrous and non-ferrous metals, their alloys, ceramics, ores, cement, limestone and numerous other inorganic solids.

The Combustion Process

The G4 ICARUS has ZoneProtect™ to ensure clean, fast & efficient combustion of samples. A gas extraction nozzle ensures an optimal, surplus supply of oxygen gets applied to molten samples. The resulting combustion gases and dust particles are instantly removed through the extraction nozzle, while its collar shields the combustion tube from the liquid sample.

The unique ZoneProtect creates unmatched performance with rapid cycle times – purge, analysis and cleaning in below one minute. ZoneProtect offers:

• Increased efficiency and quicker combustion on a broader offering of samples 
• Best-in-Class gas flow leading to immediate removal of combustion gases without further dilution for quick and clean analysis
• Eliminates splatters and minimizes dust, thereby maximizing productivity, machine life and result accuracy
• A silent, vacuum-free dust removal system integrated into the combustion zone

The G4 ICARUS Series 2 comes with selective solid-state detectors without any moving parts. It also features an integrated reference beam channel.

HighSense™: High-performance UV-Absorption for SO2

The G4 ICARUS Series 2 has HighSense™, the most advanced light-emitting diodes with UV-LED that enables SO2 detection with superior performance. UV absorption results in lower detection limits that work with trace analysis, resulting in an SO2 detector that is better than the NDIR technique in every way. 

Your Best Solution for C and S Detection

The G4 ICARUS Series 2 advancements with HighSense™ detectors and ZoneProtect™ furnace technologies, give it the analytical flexibility, performance, efficiency, accuracy, rapid measurement ability and reliability needed in industrial environments.
