Facility Features, Working Principle and Specifications

Features Working Principle

The Sunset Lab Analyser quantifies the carbonaceous species of particulate matter collected on quartz filters through the utilization of the most trusted analytical methods available.Total, Organic, Elemental and Carbonate Carbon species quantified. Thermal-optical method can utilize transmittance or reflectance optical correction. Precision regulated automated gas flow control system provides improved flow stability. High sensitivity and robust detector options. Integrated external standard utilized in every analysis

Body Specification

Compliant with all accepted protocols, including NIOSH 5040, EU EN 16909:2017, USEPA VARIAnT, and IMPROVE A. Flame Ionization Detector (FID).

Measurement range: Total carbon: 0.20 – 600 µg cm-2, Organic Carbon: 0.20 – 600 µg cm-2, Elemental Carbon: 0.20 – 30 µg cm-2, Detection limit: 0.10 µg cm-2
