CHN Elemental Analysis
Service Centre Elemental Analysis
The UdS has had a central service centre for elemental analysis since 1.10.2010.
CHN - Measurement
Currently the analyser Vario Micro Cube from Elementar (Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH, Langenselbold, Germany) is available. With this device, sulphur determination is also possible and, after modification of the Micro Cube, oxygen determination is also possible. Usually the device is operated in the inexpensive CHN mode. Under 'News' you will find the current measuring mode.
The device is supervised by Mrs. Susanne Harling, who is also the contact person for all questions concerning the analysis. Prof. Guido Kickelbick is the scientific director of the centre.
Organisational details
CHN order forms can be found here as fillable pdf forms for download. Samples can only be submitted using these forms. Ideally, you should fill at least 10 mg sample into a small screw-cap glass container and attach it to the order form with adhesive tape. You have the following options for sample submission:
- The samples can be handed in directly in the measuring room 4.06 in building C4 1 here on campus. If you are absent, a table is available in front of the measuring room, where you can also collect your measured samples.
- You are also welcome to send the samples in large envelopes by internal mail to the following address.
Please let me know by email or telephone if you have submitted or wish to submit samples so that I can process them as quickly as possible.
Externe Auftraggeber
Messungen für externe Auftraggeber müssen an der Universität des Saarlandes über das Trennungsrechnungsverfahren abgewickelt werden. Hierzu erfolgt vorab eine Kostenkalkulation und Prüfung durch Dezernat Forschungsmanagement.
Bitte melden Sie Ihre Probenanzahl per Mail oder telefonisch an, Sie erhalten im Anschluss ein Angebot über die Kosten für Ihre Messung, das Sie bitte per Mail bestätigen. Danach können Sie Ihre Proben mit dem Formular für externe Messungen vor Ort abgeben oder per Post zuschicken. Nach der Messung erfolgt die Rechnungsstellung über die Drittmittelabteilung.
