Automatic switch between channels.
With two ovens and the MVC module, FlashSmart switches between CHNS and oxygen without manual operator intervention in changing the analytical channel.
Thermo Scientific™ FlashSmart™
Automated CHNS and oxygen analysis on a single platform.
FlashSmart EA combines combustion for CHNS and pyrolysis for oxygen. In the configuration with two ovens and MVC module, it automatically switches between channels, without manual operator intervention, and performs unattended sequences on solid and liquid samples.
- CHNS/O on one platform
- Solid and liquid wide range of sample matrices
- Automation channel switching without manual intervention

FlashSmart EA
Elemental Analyzer
Main differences
Fewer method changeovers. Higher routine throughput.
The CHNS/O configuration brings together two analytical channels and automates the passage between combustion and pyrolysis. The result is a platform prepared to expand the routine without requiring manual reconfiguration at each method change.
Unattended sequences.
The autosampler and EagerSmart software support routine operation, parameter control and reporting.
Solid and liquid.
Settings suitable for different elements, sample masses, matrices and analytical objectives.
GC separation with TCD detection.
Integrated analytical flow to separate the produced gases and quantify the elements with reproducibility.
Analytical principle
From sample to result, in an integrated analytical flow.
The sample is converted into gases by combustion or pyrolysis. The components are then separated by gas chromatography and quantified by thermal conductivity detector (TCD). The configuration is selected according to the elements and matrix.

Frequently Asked Questions
FlashSmart EA — technical information.
Objective information on elemental analysis CHNS/O, automation and platform applications.
Does FlashSmart analyze CHNS and oxygen without manual exchange?
Yes, in the CHNS/O configuration with two ovens and MultiValve Control (MVC) module. The system automatically switches between the combustion channel for CHNS and the pyrolysis channel for oxygen, without manual intervention in channel exchange.
What elements does FlashSmart determine?
Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. The platform also offers specific settings for nitrogen and protein, carbon and nitrogen, total organic carbon and other applications.
Can the equipment operate without continuous monitoring?
Yes. The automatic sampler and the EAGERSmart software allow you to perform analytical sequences and generate reports in unassisted operation.
What types of samples can be analyzed?
The platform supports solid and liquid samples in areas such as food, feed, agriculture, fertilizers, energy, materials, environment and water, according to the selected analytical configuration.
