CEM – Phoenix BLACK

• 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

• 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.

• Active ventilation keeps the lab free from soot and odors.
• NIST-traceable thermocouple ensures accurate temperature control.
• Quartz fiber crucibles cool to the touch in seconds.
• Integrated sensors hold cavity door open when furnace door is removed.

• Easy to program methods with automatic start time and temperature ramps.
• Pair with balance and printer for automatic results – no more manual calculations.
• IQ/OQ/PQ service available for turnkey validation and audit traceability.
• Automated sulfated ashing – simply place samples in the furnace and press start.

The Phoenix BLACK satisfies requirements for methods that specify “electrically heated” furnaces, and also methods that specify “microwave heated” furnaces.
