Technical Specification of FlashSmart Analyzers

The performance of the FlashSmart Analyzers were confirmed analyzing pure organic standards as unknown.
The data obtained were compared with the theoretical values and the acceptable range according to the
technical specification of the Analyzer as showed in the following table included in the EagerSmart dedicated Data
Handling Software:

Nitrogen Carbon Hydrogen Sulfur Oxygen
