PYRO Advanced Microwave Muffle Furnace

Intuitive User Interface Automatic, real-time monitoring and feedback-based control of multiple parameters offers unsurpassed process control. Simply recall a factory stored program or create a new one. Press ‘Start,’ and the system will automatically follow the defined temperature profile, utilizing a sophisticated PID algorithm.

Sulfate Ashing Benefits Ashing of pharmaceutical, polymer, and food samples often involves the use of H₂SO₄. Hot sulfuric acid vapor released during these procedures is hazardous to analysts and corrosive to equipment. The PYRO Sulfate Ashing enables analysts to add H₂SO₄ to samples and place crucibles directly into the microwave muffle furnace without a preliminary charring step. The system is designed for complete operator safety and long life, and performs the complete sulfate ashing procedure in only 60-90 minutes. Reduced Operating Costs The PYRO has an extremely fast heating rate. A typical ashing temperature of 800 °C can be reached in 8 minutes from room temperature. This eliminates the necessity of running the system overnight, and avoids the lengthy heat up times associated with electrical resistance furnaces, dramatically lowering average power costs. High Sample Throughput The PYRO has an extremely large working cavity area. You can easily accommodate up to twelve standard 40 mm wide crucibles at a time. More Comfortable Working Conditions No heat neither odors added to the laboratory. The special microwave-transparent ceramic muffle furnace is an outstanding insulator, minimizing heat loss and transfer to the surrounding area. The ambient temperature of a laboratory will be unaffected, even when the unit is running at its highest temperatures. The built-in exhaust system of the PYRO removes fumes from the interior of the furnace and directs them through an exhaust hose to a fume hood or other outlet.
