XPLORER-V*

Next Generation Total Nitrogen and Total Sulfur Analyzer

The XPLORER-V is a fully automated Nitrogen and Sulfur analyzer that offers the most features out of the smallest footprint. Completely optimized for (liquid) hydrocarbon sample analysis, offering fast combined TN/TS analysis, top detection performances, smart operation features, data-driven robustness, and a fully loaded method library. The analyzer produces accurate results rapidly and suggests user actions based on extensive data collection. The XPLORER-V is designed to provide the best analytical experience when running (liquid) hydrocarbon applications according to relevant international test methods, such as ASTM, DIN, ISO, and UOP.

Liquid Autosampler
The XPLORER-V utilizes a 26 position liquid autosampler, vertically oriented furnace, and best-in-class detectors to deliver spot-on liquid sample results in 2.5 to 6 minutes, depending on the application. It operates with a constant rate injection mode and a high capacity microliter syringe. After each sample dispense, a selectable volume of solvent rinses the injection syringe. Cross-contamination is avoided because the sample never gets in contact with the syringe.

Combustion
The specially developed Xpro-V™ combustion tube features a single-stage capturing and vertical collision flowpath technique. All samples are oxidized completely in an oxygen-rich environment at high temperatures. The single-stage capturing filter protects the downstream flow path and is self-cleaning, as it continuously regenerates itself by the high temperatures and presence of an oxygen flow. In addition, the Xpro-V™ requires no consumables such as catalysts or quartz wool. Combustion tubes and introduction inlays are easily exchanged in less than a minute without using a screwdriver, making it easily adaptable for the most challenging applications.

Detection
Accurate sample introduction followed by complete combustion and proper conditioning creates the ideal circumstances for unparalleled detection performances. The XPLORER-V achieves detection limits of 10 ppb for Total Sulfur and 10 ppb for Total Nitrogen, without the use of add-ons such as a trap and release module. These outstanding detection limits have been determined independently following the methodology of the ISO 11843. On top of that, the analyzer provides unsurpassed signal stability over a longer period of time. The high signal stability reduces the calibration interval significantly and ensures you can rely on the precision of the analyzer.

Software
TEIS Analytical Software improves lab productivity by guiding the user in performing reliable routine analyses efficiently. The intuitive user interface hardly needs any explanation. Modify sample lists and evaluate data in just a few clicks. Sample data is transferred easily to LIMS or exported in commonly used formats such as PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV, or TXT. All devices run on the same software platform and multiple instruments can be operated from one PC.

Intelligent Hardware Features
• Auto-Clean Function - Instrument flow path is automatically cleaned when put in standby mode or whenever desired.
• Optimum Nitrogen determination -background noise elimination kit standard included.
• Optimum Sulfur determination -potential Nitrogen interference is eliminated by NO-ET™.
• Ease of Use - Combustion tubes and introduction inlays are easily exchanged in less than a minute, without using screwdrivers or touching hot clamps.
• Easy accessible inline filters and permeation tube gas dryer at front compartment.
• Easy accessible particulate filter at sample introduction port protects the permeation tube gas dryer.
