Acknowledgement of CIF Staff Assistance
"We wish to thank ISU Chemical Instrumentation Facility staff members <insert name(s) here> for training and assistance pertaining to the ThermoFlashSmart CHNS/O elemental analysis results included in this publication."
Experimental Section Information
"Elemental analysis results (%CHNS or %O) were acquired using a Thermo FlashSmart combustion analyzer."
For most publications or presentations it may only be appropriate to mention the calibration standard (BBOT for CHNS measurements), the expected precision and accuracy of the measurements (4% relative SD is considered a good error bar), and the combustion and reduction temperatures (950 °C for %CHNS measurements and 1060 °C for %O measurements). All standards, capsules, consumables and reagents are from CE Elantech, EA Consumables, or Millipore Sigma.
If you would like to include more details in the experimental section of your thesis, review the QA/QC Protocols page for a discussion of how measurements are obtained and how the data is analyzed.
