Discover all the new features

Fast and Efficient

• The Phoenix Black can perform ash analysis 10 times faster than a traditional muffle furnace, allowing you to respond more quickly to changes in the production process.
• Ramp to temperature in minutes.
• One-step ashing, complete pre-ash inside furnace without the need for a Bunsen burner.

Accurate

• Temperature verification and calibration for ISO and GLP practices are quickly and easily performed with a NIST traceable thermocouple.
• IQ/OQ/PQ service available for turnkey validation and audit traceability.
• Meets all requirements for methods that specify “electrically heated” furnaces or “microwave heated” furnaces.

Safe

• Active ventilation keeps the lab free from soot and odors. No need to use a fume cabinet!
• Patented quartz fiber crucibles cool to the touch in seconds.
• Integrated sensors hold cavity door open when furnace door is removed or when overheating occurs.

Easy to use

• Thanks to the touchscreen it’s easy to start or program methods with automatic start time and temperature ramps.
• Available as a workstation pair with balance and printer or PC for automatic results – no more manual calculations needed.
• The Phoenix BLACK can use any type of crucible that may be used in a conventional muffle furnace, including platinum.

Adaptable

• The Phoenix BLACK is available with your choice of either a high temperature or a high capacity furnace.
