The user can choose between the classic analysis display or the alloy ID with target and actual values. Thanks to optical bonding technology, the clear and bright touch screen is easy to read even in the most difficult lighting conditions.
- Easy reporting at the push of a button
Analysis results can be exported in a variety of ways: via USB or LAN connection from the analyzer, as well as via WLAN or Bluetooth connection. The powerful felinOS® cloud technology optimizes the provision and further processing of measurement results and thus facilitates cooperation with colleagues and business partners. This provides unsurpassed data processing (reporting) and traceability for on-site work at all times.
- Unmatched OES nitrogen analysis in duplex
Elementar's CONLYTE® technology significantly improves analytical performance for nitrogen in duplex. In addition, the long-term stability for the measurement of phosphorus, sulfur, and boron is increased. In contrast to conventional systems, ferro.lyte uses an extended wavelength range for the determination of the nitrogen content that was previously only reached by laboratory instruments.
The extension of the wavelength range is achieved by the unique CONLYTE technology developed by Elementar (patent pending). Thanks to the CONLYTE technology, the air gap between the light channel and the plasma, which is common in mobile spectrometers, is completely sealed from the atmosphere. Atmospheric changes, therefore, cannot influence the measurement signal - a prerequisite for permanently reliable analysis results.
- Cloud Service
The analysis results are automatically stored on the analyzer and can be uploaded to the secure felinOS® cloud at the same time. This enables new dynamic working methods. Analysis data can be quickly and efficiently shared and further processed. The measured values are available " On Demand" - if required at any time, even without access to the instrument - for further processing or distribution. This increases security and data availability at any time and anywhere.
- Optics
The optics, the heart of every OES spectrometer, are specially designed for use in harsh environments. Several sensors, specially developed for Ferro. lyte, allow the full wavelength range to be measured without compromising spectral line selection.
- Hand probe
The light and ergonomic hand probe is firmly connected to the basic unit with a hybrid cable. The cable is specially designed for use in harsh environments. This protects the optical fiber, minimizes the risk of failure, and reduces follow-up costs for costly repairs.
- Dimensions
Thanks to its compact dimensions of 425 x 315 x 210 mm, Ferro. lyte is the ideal solution for testing areas that are difficult to access.

The UNICUBE trace measures low-level nitrogen and carbon concentrations in solids and highly viscous liquids with a detection limit of 10 mg/kg. Its speciality: nitrogen and carbon determination are carried out using the Dumas method, Matrix-independent determination of N and C at trace levels
The UNICUBE trace measures low-level nitrogen and carbon concentrations in solids and highly viscous liquids with a detection limit of 10 mg/kg. Its speciality: nitrogen and carbon determination are carried out using the Dumas method, which involves the removal of interfering gases during reduction and subsequent detection of the target gases using a thermal conductivity detector. As such, the UNICUBE trace is able to combine the benefits of the matrix-independent Dumas method with high sensitivity.
With UNICUBE trace, sample digestion is carried out via catalytic combustion at a temperature of 950°C, with the nitrogen and carbon-containing components in the sample forming a mixture of different oxides and N2. The resulting gases then pass through the reduction tube, where carbon compounds are safely reduced to CO2 and nitrogen compounds to N2. After removing other combustion products like H2O and SO2, CO2 and N2 are measured by thermal conductivity detection.
The system is designed for easy, low-maintenance operation; matrix-independent analysis allows the use of a standard ‘universal’ calibration for any sample type. The front door of the analyser opens to give excellent access for the replacement of consumables - exchanging the combustion and reduction tube is simple, thanks to the slide-out furnace.
What’s more, Elementar provides a 10-year warranty on both the furnace and thermal conductivity cell, thus ensuring that UNICUBE trace can continue delivering a stable and reliable performance for laboratories.... Read More |
