PYRO
Advanced Microwave Muffle Furnace - Save 90% analysis time in determining ash content or sulfate ash.
The determination of ash content or sulfate ash is a widely used method for process control or as sample preparation for other analytical techniques, and it is an important test performed daily in thousands of laboratories worldwide.
Dry ashing is based on the decomposition of organic material through the influence of oxygen at elevated temperatures. Ashing is a relatively simple process, but the use of conventional muffle furnaces is often inefficient, leading to tedious and time-consuming procedures. The use of microwaves for dry ashing applications is a breakthrough in the quality control of samples such as polymers, oil, food and feed, pulp, paper, and pharmaceuticals.
The new Milestone PYRO is an advanced microwave muffle furnace suitable for several applications, such as ash determination, sulfate ash, loss on ignition (LOI), residue on ignition (ROI), fusion, and, more generally, all high-temperature reactions under controlled conditions.
The PYRO is available in three different interchangeable configurations: ultra-fast heating, multiple samples at once, and sulfate ash; therefore, it is the most flexible microwave muffle furnace available on the market, with rapid customization options.
