Features

  • Safe and easy operations

    Ensure safe operations with FOSS pioneered SAfE* mode for safe distillation of samples that form salt cakes and bellow pumps for accurate reagent dispensing. A variable output steam generator broadens the application area to other volatile components.

    *Steam Addition for Equilibration

  • A versatile solution that reduces operational costs

    Accurate reagent dispensing reduces cost per test. At the same time, a self-adjusting cooling water system saves water to further reduce cost, while long-life components ensure minimal downtime. Corrosion-free materials and alkali resistant plastic splash head/tube draining vessel secure long instrument lifetime.
