Microwave Ashing
Milestone’s PYRO Microwave Muffle Furnace Ashing System offers an excellent alternative to conventional muffle furnace techniques.
Direct mercury analysis requires no sample preparation and delivers results in as little as 6 minutes per sample making it significantly faster than traditional wet chemistry.
- Only 8 minutes from room temperature to 1,000°C
- Up to 24 samples simultaneously
- Three interchangeable configurations for several applications
- Safest muffle furnace available, no fumes emitted into the laboratory
