QASH

Efficient Ashing of Carbon Rich Samples Using Controlled Air Flow

Microwave Ashing System

  • LED Bar temperature display
  • Attains 1000°C in 25 minutes
  • 1800 Watts of microwave energy
  • 9 – 50 ml crucibles in one batch

QAsh software controlled air inlet provides the user with the capability to expedite the ashing and cooling process. Additionally, it allows the system to carry out the heating in an inert environment.

The Inside of the chamber has four heating tiles with a temperature sensor and air inlet
