Microwave Muffle Furnace
Phoenix BLACK
Microwave Muffle Furnace
Phoenix BLACK
Overview
Ash samples with unmatched speed and safety with the Phoenix BLACK™. With an on-board touch-screen interface you’ll save time and simplify workflow. Two powerful magnetrons heat the cavity which allows for exceptional temperature control and lightning fast ramp times. Make rapid adjustments to reduce out-of-specification products and improve your process control.Features
- Ash up to 15 samples at one time
- Use any type of crucible normally used in conventional ashing systems, even platinum
- Meets requirements of electrical and microwave muffle furnaces
Fast
- Ramp to temperature in minutes.
- Go directly from the furnace to the balance with no desiccation step.
- Ash samples up to 97% faster than with traditional muffle furnaces. One-step ashing - complete pre-ash inside furnace without the need for a Bunsen burner.
