The Milestone microwave enhanced muffle system from Analytix is designed to reduce ashing time by up to 95% from hours to minutes using the same temperature profile and standard crucibles.
The ashing of foods and feeds is an important sample preparation process but can often take many hours and cause a bottleneck in the laboratory workflow. Using the microwave enhanced muffle system can, for example, reduce the ashing of wheat flour from more than six hours in a traditional muffle furnace to 50 minutes.
The system features an integrated exhaust system which removes odours with no loss of heat. Even temperature distribution across the muffle eliminates cold spots and ensures reproducible ashing across all crucibles. The system provides auto-calculation of the results through interfacing with an analytical balance and can additionally export the ashing profile in Excel or pdf format.
