The Phoenix BLACK Sulfated Ash system offers fast, safe sulfated ashing in as little as 45 minutes with minimal operator involvement. Just add H2SO4 to your sample and place the crucible in the furnace. The system automatically heats to 300°C for pre-ashing, then ramps to a set temperature to complete the process.
The included vacuum pump and scrubber module safely remove and neutralize acid vapors, enhancing safety and making clean-up simple.
It enables the pharmaceutical industry to perform Residue on Ignition (ROI) or Sulfated Ash tests for evaluating raw materials, excipients. It also supports quality control of finished products while safely removing and neutralizing sulfuric and nitric acid vapors.
Applications of the sulfated ash system:
Sulfated ash for any sample
The Phoenix BLACK Sulfated Ash handles ashing for a wide variety of samples, including concentrates, elastomers, glycerin, lactose, greases, lubricating oils, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, PVC, sugar, rubber, and much more.
Features of the sulfated ash system:
- No need for pre-ashing
- Eliminates spattering and foaming
- It safely neutralizes and filters vapors
- Programmable methods and scheduling feature
- Meets requirements for electric and microwave muffle furnaces
- You can use any crucible, including platinum and quartz fiber
Minimal labour required
The user-friendly software makes it easy to create custom methods tailored to specific needs. You can even schedule start times so the system is ready when you arrive. For more convenience, pair it with the workstation option, which includes a connected balance and printer, for automatic digital and printed results.
The system removes the need for operator-dependent procedures like Bunsen burners, heat lamps, and hot plates. With computer-controlled multi-stage methods, each step is precisely managed for documentation and validation, allowing lab personnel to focus on other tasks.
The Phoenix BLACK, in combination with the sulfate ashing option, features an external scrubber system that directly extracts and neutralizes corrosive gases from the furnace.
- The configuration meets ISO 14000 regulations and all requirements for USP 281 (ROI) & USP 733 (LOI).
- The sulfate ashing option can be disconnected and re-added in less than five minutes without the use of tools.
- USB data output provides CFR21 part 11 compliance method details and date of completion.
