Microwave Ashing

Microwave ashing is a breakthrough for quality control and rapid sample preparation.
The determination of ash content, whether for process control or as a preparation method for other analytical techniques, is an important test performed daily in thousands of laboratories. While ashing is a relatively simple process, conventional muffle furnaces are inefficient in a number of respects which often leads to the process being tedious and time consuming. An alternative to muffle furnaces, electrical resistance furnaces, are typically costly to maintain due to high energy consumption. Additionally, both of these types of instruments have a tendency to diffuse heat making the surrounding laboratory environment uncomfortable due to heat and odors.
Milestone offers microwave ashing systems to meet the needs of your laboratory.

PYRO

Microwave Ashing System

The PYRO represents a highly efficient alternative to conventional muffle furnaces. The PYRO dramatically reduces ashing times, from hours to minutes. It offers the fastest and most versatile way to ash your samples. The PYRO systems' unique design eliminates equipment corrosion and acid fume pollution, greatly reducing analyst exposure to acid fumes.

PYRO SA

PYRO SA Sulphate Ashing System

The PYRO SA Sulphate Ashing system is identical to the PYRO, but it is equipped with the Sulphate Ashing Module and the VAC-1000 Acid Scrubber. Preliminary charring step, tedious handling and monitoring of samples, and operator exposures to acid fumes, are eliminated.

PYRO XL

For Extra Large Amounts

The PYRO XL is specifically developed to allow the analytst to process multiple crucibles, contraining a combined total of up to 100 grams of sample, simultaneously. Application problems generated by high volumes of sample like polymers, petroleum, food and feed and pharmaceutical samples are a challenge no more thanks to the innovation of the PYRO XL.
