PRIMACS™ Series
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Carbon (TC) analyzer
The PRIMACS™ Series Carbon / Nitrogen Analyzers have been designed to offer a true solution of Carbon and Nitrogen analysis in solid samples.
True solution for Carbon and Nitrogen analysis in solid samples
The PRIMACS ™ SNC-100 Carbon/Nitrogen analyzer is a flexible solid sample analyzer with integrated 100-position autosampler for determination of Nitrogen (N) / Protein, Total Carbon (TC), Total Elemental Carbon (TEC), Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC). The analyzers provide fast, accurate and low level analysis for these parameters in applications such as soil & plant, sludges & sediments, animal feed & grain, food, malt, fertilizer etc
The PRIMACS ™ MCS is an add-on module for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis in solid materials such as soil, sediments and sludges. The PRIMACS ™ MCS only operates in combination with the FORMACS™
Series TOC analyzer, offering an economical concept to environmental laboratories for TOC analysis on aqueous samples as well as solid materials and sludges.

PRIMACS ™ SNC-100
PRIMACS ™ SNC-100 is a flexible solid sample analyzer with integrated 100-position autosampler for determination of various carbon species and total nitrogen/protein.
PRIMACS ™ MCS
The PRIMACS ™ MCS operates in combination with the FORMACS™ Series Total Organic Carbon analyzer (liquid samples), offering an economical concept to environmental laboratories for Total Organic Carbon analysis on aqueous samples as well as solid materials and sludges.
PRIMACS ™ SNC-100 TOC/TN analyzer
Total Organic Carbon and Protein-Nitrogen analyzer for Solid & Liquid samples
The PRIMACS™ SNC-100 contains an extra large integrated autosampler with 100 positions covered with a transparent lid. The sampler can analyze large daily sample loads in one batch. The sample rack is removable and re-usable quartz crucibles are used for sample weights up to 3 g of solid material.
Samples are introduced in the analyzer through a unique vertical sample introduction system. Sample ashes remain in the crucible after the analysis and are taken out of the instrument with removal of the crucible. This avoids sample ash build-up in the combustion zone and therefore reduces maintenance.
High temperature combustion with Non Dispersive Infrared detection (NDIR) is used for the analysis of TOC, TEC and TIC. The temperature settings are variable to get optimum combustion for different sample matrices and to allow the analysis of TEC.
The determination of TN/Protein is based upon DUMAS methodology and detection with Thermal Conductivity (TCD). The DUMAS method is fast, safe and a good alternative for the old fashioned Kjeldahl. TIC can also be analyzed using automatic acidification and purging.
The instrument is delivered with a modern and flexible software package.
Skalar has developed applications for a variety of industries. Our comprehensive applications library provides a large selection of standardized references.
Principle of operation TC & TN analysis with the PRIMACS ™ SNC-100
For the determination of various types of Carbon and Nitrogen / Protein different analysis and detection methods are used in the analyzer.
PRIMACS ™ MCS
TOC add-on module for solid samples in combination with the FORMACS™ HT/HT-i TOC analyzers
The PRIMACS™ MCS is equipped with a dual-oven design, allowing separate analysis of Total Carbon (TC) and Inorganic Carbon (IC). TC is determined by catalytic oxidation and detection by the NDIR detector of the FORMACS™ Series TOC analyzer. IC is determined by acidification of the sample in the IC reactor. The PRIMACS ™ MCS software collects the data and calculates the TOC concentration of the sample by substraction ( TC - IC = TOC).
The PRIMACS™ MCS analyzes TC, IC and TOC in a range of 500 µg to 40 mg absolute carbon in up to 3 g of sample weight. Due to the automatic low-to-high range switching IR detector of the FORMACS™ Series TOC analyzer, the combination of the FORMACS™ Series analyzer with the PRIMACS ™ MCS add-on module offers environmental laboratories a powerful tool to analyze TOC from low ppb concentrations in aqueous samples up to ppm levels in solid materials. The PRIMACS ™ MCS conforms to international regulations such as EPA, ISO, NEN-EN 13137 and US EPA 9060
