EMIA-Expert
The EMIA-Expert Carbon / Sulfur Analyzer based on HORIBA’s widely respected expertise in Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology
Advanced functions
High Performance Purifier Unit for Carrier Gas
Enables measurement of ultra-low carbon concentration with high accuracy by eliminating hydrocarbon impurities in the carrier gas
High Performance Heating Filter Unit
Samples which are moist or that generate water during analysis may cause a small error for the analysis of sulfur. This is due to the evolved water absorbing the SO2 gas. Using the heating filter, the absorption of SO2 by moisture is prevented, and highly accurate sulfur analysis is guaranteed
Long Mean Time Between Maintenance
The unique newly-developed cleaning mechanism (patent pending) clears the dust in the furnace, allowing the operator to continue to use the EMIA-Expert / Pro without maintenance cleaning for up to 200 measurements*.
* It depends on sample and measurement condition



Fast & Easy Maintenance
With the latest innovations the cleaning time for the EMIA Series instruments is typically half of that of our conventional models. The flat design around the crucible stand and simple design around the furnace also simplify user access for cleaning.
Advanced Operation software
A critical focus was to ensure that the EMIA-Expert / Pro Series was “easy-to-use”. In particular, we focused on the layout, operating menus and functions.
We have included a self-diagnostic monitor checking capability to check the status of the connected device, an alarm function and we have expanded 3 navigators to facilitate daily operation.

Other features

EMIA Series can complete one measurement cycle, “measurement-display result-cleaning”, in 70 seconds (i.e. about 50 samples/hour)
Troubleshooting Navigator
Automatic diagnosis system and troubleshooting navigator
Analysis Navigator
This function uses the recommended best measurement flow and operating condition based on our experience
Maintenance Navigator
Periodic preventive maintenance work navigator by videos and photos
