Exeter Analytical reports on how the consistency and quality of routine microanalysis consumables can have a significant effect on the variability of determined percentage carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen (CHN) results.

exeterpr90-An existing user of an Exeter Analytical Model 440 CHN analyser, driven by tight budgetary considerations, elected to try to save some money by buying consumables from a non-certified supplier.  However after a few weeks they noticed that blank carbon and hydrogen readings from CHN analyses performed with these new tin capsules and quartz reaction tubes had become higher and inconsistent.  In addition due to this new inconsistency the consumption of consumables had also risen significantly due to the need for re-runs. Switching back to Exeter Analytical tin capsules and quartz reaction tubes these problems were seen to go away.
