EA - Elemental Analysis Extension

The extension for elemental analysis.

EA Extension is a software module for Elemental Analysis. Determining the Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Sulphur (CHNS-O) content of unknowns is one of the most basic and essential needs of any chemist. It provides a simplified version of the Clarity user interface that speeds up the workflow with elemental analyzers equipped with autosamplers. Its user interface is optimized for maximum efficiency in repetitive tasks. Using features that are specific to EA Analysis, such as Standard Table, automatic weight input from analytical balance and other improvements, EA Extension provides an interactive and automated tool for determining the Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Sulfur (CHNS-O) content of unknowns.

Instrument window is a control center for the whole process of data acquisition and evaluation. The Information Table displays the processed sample: Name, applied template method, acquisition mode, etc. The Status Line indicates the current state of the analysis: elapsed time and state. The Analysis-processing Diagram provides icons for fast access to every process of the whole procedure. It starts with Sample Table and through the measurement conditions
The EA Sequence enables to compose the sequence, control its processing and atomatize the creation of printed outputs. With attached Analytical balance (Mettler or Sartorius) the sample weght can be entered by a mouseclick. Each sequence will automatically create its corresponding calibration and method files.
The EA Extension allows for direct interface with the analytical balance (Sartorius and Mettler). After weighing the sample, the operator presses the print key on the balance (or uses software instruction) to directly transfer the sample weight to the software sample information field thereby eliminating any possible transcription errors.
The Standard Table stores predefined values for commonly used standards. The table can be edited to add other standards or to delete the unused ones.

Main features

Calibration

Simplified work with template method and calibration. One setting is shared for all samples in the same sequence.

Standard Table For your convenience, the software contains Standard Table with a list of the most commonly used calibration standards and their elemental composition.
Reporting Clarity EA supports the printing of user defined protocols. Its configuration is saved in a report style, which defines the content and form through the printout. Protocols can be printed to the PDF file.
Analytical balance The Clarity Elemental Analysis Software provides direct interface with the analytical balance (Sartorius and Mettler). After weighing the sample, the operator presses the print key on the balance (or uses software instruction) to directly transfer the sample weight to the software sample information field thereby eliminating any possible transcription errors.
Sequence Table Measurement is managed using the Sequence Table. The Summary Table displays results clearly. ASCII and AIA data formats can be exported or imported directly.
Database Results can be exported in the .txt and .dbf format.
