Cleaner, Quicker and more Efficient Sample Ashing

The Milestone PYRO and PYRO XL microwave ashing systems from Analytix are highly-efficient alternatives to conventional oven or muffle furnaces and dramatically reduce ashing times from hours to minutes. The PYRO XL additionally enables ashing of large volumes of difficult matrices that generate a high quantity of fumes.

Key features include: high sample throughput with reduced ashing times; reduced operating costs compared to conventional muffle ovens; identical ashing results compared to conventional techniques; odours eliminated through built-in exhaust system; optimum temperature homogeneity through microwave stirrer; temperatures up to 1,200°C with extremely rapid ramping/heating cycles; highest standards of safety with long operating life.

The PYRO and PYRO XL labstations are controlled by advanced touchscreen controllers with a large graphic interface that provides automatic real-time monitoring, feedback-based control, and storage of ashing run for any Quality Control reporting requirements.
