Access more applications: become the reference laboratory in your field

No matter which direction you take, your lab and equipment will be able to adapt to support any strategy. Flexible systems enable you to react to the new, whilst delivering accurate and reproducible results. With the FlashSmart EA your lab can easily handle varying sample types, obtain from 1 to 5 element determinations and achieve maximum sample throughput.

N/Protein Analyzer Configuration

• Determine crude protein in human food and animal feed using quality certified Reference Material, included as standard.
• Food Safety: Human food and animal feed, beverages (beer, juice, milk, wine, soft drinks...).

Performance that takes you further

With powerful yet easy operation, your team can process more samples every day. When you need to analyze more elements, you can adapt the FlashSmart EA on-site to your applications or add a second reactor to unlock more capabilities.

Software automates consistent sampling and reports

Software

The Thermo Scientific EagerSmart Data Handling Software allows you to leave the FlashSmart EA unattended to get completed analysis, with full, user-friendly reports. The software controls all analytical parameters, flows, autosamplers and detectors, by suggesting the most favourable analytical conditions for your samples.

• Automated transfer of the sample weight from the balance to the software
• Automated evaluation of Heat Values (Gross and Net Heat Values) for fuels and alternative fuels
• CO2 Emission Trade for environmental control
• Different Protein Factors for food and animal feed
• Inserting of the Humidity value for solid samples and of the Density for liquid samples
• Automated Minimal Formula determination for pharmaceutical or fine chemicals applications
• Automated evaluation of C/N, C/H and C/S ratio
• Automated data transfer to Microsoft Excel, LIMS and others

Automated functions

• Auto-Start
• Auto-Ready
• Auto-Stand-By
• Auto-Off
• Auto Leak Test

Unique and dedicated OxyTune function

The Thermo Scientific OxyTune Function automatically evaluates the oxygen needed for combustion, according to the weight and nature of your sample.

MultiValve Control Module: future-proof lab with more throughput and less costs

By switching the analysis from the left channel to the right one (or viceversa), the MVC Module increases your analysis throughput. When the system is not in use overnight, on weekends, or for a prolonged period of time you can also reduce helium consumption and overall cost of analysis by switching from helium to nitrogen or argon.

• Fully automated and software controlled
• No need to change hardware or software configuration
• Optional feature for extended lab throughput
• Easy to add
