G4 ICARUS Series 2
The combustion analyzer G4 ICARUS Series 2 with high frequency (HF) induction furnace and HighSense™ detection sets new standards in for a rapid and precise carbon (C) and sulfur (S) analysis in inorganic solids. Due to their impact on the material properties, the need for fast and reliable CS analysis is not limited to iron and steel but also applies to ferrous and non-ferrous metals, their alloys, ceramics, ores, cement, limestone and numerous other inorganic solids.
Highlights:
- 3 µm Pore size of the high-efficiency dust filter ensures improved stability and a clean workplace
- Less than 60 s cycle time include cleaning cycle
- Fully Automatic cleaning system with brush-free dust removal

ZoneProtect™
The patented combustion zone design utilizes a gas extraction nozzle, ensuring an optimal supply of oxygen to the sample, while liberated gases and dust particles are instantly purged through the nozzle
HighSense™ Detection
The latest innovations in the field of high-performance light-emitting diodes (UV-LED), enabled the development of a SO₂ detector with outstanding performance: Lowest detection limits and an ultra-wide linear dynamic range are specific benefits of this technique. All Bruker detectors work without any moving parts and are equipped with integrated reference beam channels to eliminate drifts and provide utmost baseline and calibration stability.
