Fast ashing in minutes instead of hours!
Determination of the ash content, whether for process control or as a preparation method for other analytical techniques, is an important test performed daily in thousands of laboratories worldwide.

While ashing is a relatively simple process, conventional muffle furnaces are often inefficient, leading to tedious and time-consuming procedures. The advent of microwave ashing furnace for dry applications has represented a breakthrough in the process and quality control of samples like polymers, petroleum, food and feeds, pulp paper and pharmaceuticals. Unique design of PYRO microwave furnace eliminates equipment corrosion and acid fume pollution, greatly reducing analyst exposure to acid fumes. PYRO microwave diffuser ensures usage of all available crucibles including metal, porcelain and quartz fiber. In particular, the unique Milestone UltraFAST quartz fiber crucibles further accelerate the ashing process.

LARGEST MICROWAVE CAVITY
Equipped with a full stainless steel door, the new Milestone PYRO microwave cavity has a volume in excess of 70 liters, thus allowing the use of a large muffle which in turn enhances the sample throughput. Additionally, a large cavity ensures that the outer temperature of the PYRO remains very low, even when the inner temperature of the furnace is in excess of 1.000°C.

HIGHEST POWER
The PYRO is equipped with two 950 Watt magnetrons for a total of 1900 Watt making it the most powerful microwave muffle furnace system available in the market. The system additionally employs a rotating diffuser that evenly distributes the microwaves throughout the cavity, assuring a uniform temperature is achieved inside the furnace.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The new Milestone PYRO is equipped with the most advanced yet easy to use temperature sensors for complete control of the ashing conditions. These NIST-traceable sensors allow rapid verification and calibration of the furnace temperature for ISO and GLP procedures.

METHODS COMPLIANCE
The PYRO meets or exceeds the equipment requirements for electrically heated furnaces in the following methods: ASTM, USP ROI 281 and LOI 733, AOAC, FDA, ISO and DIN. It also meets or exceeds the requirements for applications listing a microwave heated furnace in the following methods: ASTM D5630-94 and ASTM D1506-94b.
