What your QC lab actually checks
Carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in one run
Combustion in a resistance furnace to 1,550 °C, with a heated H₂O infrared cell followed by additional gold infrared cells, determines carbon, hydrogen and sulfur simultaneously from 20 ppm to 100 %. An optimized low-blank sample port with reduced diameter and oxygen purge drastically lowers the atmospheric CO₂ blank, so even low-carbon organic samples are measured reliably. An optional second furnace adds fast fractionated analysis.

The ELTRA ELEMENTRAC CHS-r is a resistance-furnace analyzer for fast, simultaneous carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in predominantly organic matrices. The sample is burned in oxygen at up to 1,550 °C; the combustion gases first pass a heated H₂O infrared cell for hydrogen, then the CO₂ and SO₂ are measured in additional infrared cells over a wide range from 20 ppm to 100 %. An optimized low-blank sample port and solid-gold IR paths give reliable low-carbon analysis and extended cell life.
Why materials and environmental labs choose the CHS-r
Carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in one run — down to low ppm, up to 100 %.
Simultaneous C/H/S
Fast, simultaneous carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a resistance furnace up to 1,550 °C, with high sample weights for heterogeneous organic matrices.
Heated H₂O IR cell for hydrogen
A dedicated heated water infrared cell captures the hydrogen as H₂O directly after the furnace, adding hydrogen to the carbon and sulfur determination.
Low-blank port, 20 ppm–100 %
A reduced-diameter sample port with oxygen purge drastically lowers the atmospheric CO₂ blank, enabling reliable carbon analysis in the low measuring range down to 20 ppm.
Gold IR path, dual-furnace + TIC
Solid-gold IR paths extend cell life, two drying columns protect the optics, and options include a second furnace for fractionated analysis and a TIC module.
How Additive Plus supports it
A configured, installed analyzer with a C/H/S method dialed in on your samples.
Configure to your samples
We spec the IR cells, hydrogen cell, sample-port, dual-furnace and TIC options to your matrix and concentration range before it ships.
Install & train
Factory-trained engineers install the analyzer, connect oxygen and the PC/balance, and train your team on the ELEMENTS software.
Method & QC support
We help build the SOP — calibration with standards, blank control, TOC method and a repeatable C/H/S baseline.
