The oxygen flask combustion unit from Exeter Analytical provides a safe tool for preparing samples for elemental analysis of halogens, phosphorus and many metals using the Schoniger flask method.
The Schoniger flask method is a proven technique for combusting samples prior to elemental analysis by ion chromatography or titration.
The Schoniger flask method using the OFCU-1 is capable of being used for repeatable determination of elemental composition from percentage levels to parts per million.
The OFCU-1 features a durable construction that copes easily with a range of sample types.
It is simple to set up, use and maintain, according to Exeter Analytical.
Built with operator safety in mind, the OFCU-1 remotely ignites samples inside a safety-interlocked chamber using focused infrared heat from two tungsten-halogen lamps.
Integral pressure vents ensure safe release of excess reaction pressure.
A thick black acrylic observation window is provided on the OFCU-1 to allow users to visually check ignition has taken place.
