Organic Element Analyzer (EA) Analytical Service
Organic Element Analyzer (EA) Analytical Service quantitatively determines the content of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), oxygen (O), and other elements in organic compounds. By employing EA, researchers can rapidly and accurately assess a sample’s fundamental composition, offering indispensable insights for chemistry, materials science, biopharmaceutical research, environmental monitoring, and more. As industries such as fine chemicals, novel drug development, and functional materials continue to advance, obtaining precise elemental data in a timely manner has become vital for research and quality control. Particularly when devising product formulations, refining synthetic routes, evaluating environmental risks, or clarifying molecular structures, EA proves irreplaceable.
Against this backdrop, MtoZ Biolabs capitalizes on its extensive analytical experience and comprehensive technology platform to deliver one-stop Organic Element Analyzer (EA) Analytical Service to clients worldwide. Equipped with state-of-the-art EA instrument and standardized workflows, we guarantee fast, high-quality data acquisition and empower customers to make informed, accurate decisions in both R&D and quality control.

Technical Principles
EA primarily relies on combustion under oxidizing conditions. In this process, an organic sample is decomposed at high temperatures, causing its carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur to form corresponding gaseous products (e.g., CO₂, H₂O, NOₓ, SOₓ). These gases are then separated and detected (commonly via a chromatographic column or specialized detector) to determine the mass percentages of each element in the sample.
Compared with other analytical methods, EA offers several advantages:
1. High Versatility: Suitable for most organic and some inorganic samples, accommodating a wide range of matrices.
2. Flexible Detection Range: Accurately quantifies elements from trace levels to larger amounts.
3. Accurate, Reliable Results: Delivers high sensitivity, with excellent repeatability and precision.
4. Efficient Operation: Simultaneously measures multiple elements in one run, significantly reducing overall turnaround time.
Analysis Workflow
At MtoZ Biolabs, we employ a well-established organic element analyzer (EA) analytical procedure to ensure accuracy and reproducibility:
1. Sample Pretreatment
Based on sample characteristics and analytical requirements, we remove moisture and other interferences to obtain a stable, uniform sample. Homogenization may also be conducted to reduce variations across subsamples.
2. Precise Weighing
The treated sample is precisely weighed in microgram- to milligram-level quantities and placed into specialized tin or silver capsules. A high-precision balance is used for accurate measurement, and each step is thoroughly documented.
3. Combustion and Oxidation
The sample is combusted or decomposed in a high-temperature furnace under an oxygen-rich atmosphere, converting carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur into gaseous forms. Temperature segmentation is employed to prevent contamination or incomplete combustion.
4. Separation and Detection of Byproducts
Resulting gases—such as CO₂, H₂O, NOₓ, and SOₓ—are passed through separation or purification systems before entering columns or detectors for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Their peak areas or signals are used to calculate elemental contents.
5. Data Processing and Reporting
With known reference standards for calibration, specialized software compares characteristic peaks to determine the actual elemental composition (usually expressed as mass percentages or ratios). A comprehensive report is then generated and reviewed. For customized data formats or specialized reports, we offer flexible solutions to meet specific needs.

FAQ
1. Are there limitations on sample types?
EA can handle solids, liquids, and some gaseous samples. We recommend discussing specific matrices and forms in advance to determine the best analytical strategy.
2. How much sample is required?
Typically, only a few milligrams to a few dozen milligrams suffice for routine tests. However, actual quantities depend on sample type, target elemental levels, and desired sensitivity.
3. Is oxygen analysis available?
In general, we measure carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Oxygen analysis can be arranged based on instrument configuration and project needs.
4. How do you ensure accuracy and precision?
We employ internationally recognized reference materials for calibration and adhere to strict SOPs, including repeated measurements, blanks, and quality control samples.
5. What does the report include?
A standard report details sample identification, elemental percentages, test dates, and QA/QC information. We can also provide customized data and formats upon request.
