Phoenix BLACK Sulfated Ash Sulfated Ashing System

The Phoenix BLACK™ Sulfated Ash provides complete, safe sulfated ashing in as little as 45 minutes and requires minimal oversight from personnel. Simply add H2SO4 to a sample and place the crucible inside of the furnace. The system will heat to maintain the method specified Stage 1 temperature to mimic pre-ashing. Once that is complete, the system will automatically ramp to a pre-specified temperature to complete the ashing process. With the included vacuum pump and scrubber module, all acid vapors are safely removed and neutralized, making the system safer and simplifying cleanup.

Features
· No pre-ashing required
· Eliminates spattering and foaming
· Vapors are safely neutralized and filtered
· Programmable methods and scheduling feature
· Meets requirements for all muffle furnaces

Safe
· Reduce oversight and limit exposure.
· With precise temperature control and uniformity, the Phoenix BLACK Sulfated Ash prevents foaming and spattering often seen with traditional muffle furnaces. Programmable methods eliminate the need for pre-ashing prior to placing the sample in the muffle furnace. Minimal observation and handling are required; simply add sulfuric acid to the sample, place the crucible in the furnace, and press start. The system module neutralizes caustic gasses and vents fumes through a dedicated exhaust line. This frees up valuable acid-resistant hood space and operator time, while reducing cleaning and maintenance costs resulting from sulfuric acid vapor.

Simple to Use
· Minimal labor required.
· The user-friendly software allows for methods to be quickly created to meet specific needs. Program start times so that the system is ready upon arrival. Pair the system with the workstation option, which includes a connected balance and printer, for automatic digital and hard-copy results. Connect the system to a data bridge for easy data storage and viewing. Automatic, safe temperature ramping, customized methods, and various integrated systems free lab personnel for other tasks.

Universal
· Compatible with all crucibles.
· Crucibles of any kind can be used with the system: platinum, porcelain, nickel, etc. are all compatible.

For additional time savings, utilize our quartz fiber crucibles that cool within seconds of being removed from a 1000°C muffle furnace. This allows for final weights to be taken almost immediately, limiting desiccation and handling times and providing results more rapidly.
