Oxidizer for the Catalytic Combustion of Samples
The device is a fully automatic catalytic combustion unit for preparing organic and inorganic samples (e.g. soil, plant material, tissue, oil, or concrete) for liquid scintillation counting (LSC) analysis. Samples are completely oxidized in an oxygen stream at around 900°C. The resulting CO₂ is utilized for the tracer analysis. The system allows the parallel processing of several samples by the automated sample changer and reliable process control.
