As the name implies, the PYRO with UltraFAST Setup has an extremely fast heating rate. A typical ashing temperature of 800°C can be reached in just 5 minutes, starting from room temperature! This eliminates the need of running the system overnight, and avoids the lengthy heat up time associated with electrical resistance furnaces, dramatically lowering the power consumption and cost.
A circular heating element assures a perfect temperature uniformity throughout the cavity, largely exceeding requirements of ASTM, USP, SEMI and ISO standard methods. Temperature is monitored and controlled via a contact-less infrared sensor. Up to 5 crucibles are located on a ceramic tray, which can be easily removed from the muffle at the completion of the microwave run.
The incredibly fast heating rate of this PYRO setup, combined with the properties of the Milestone UltraFAST crucibles, makes this configuration the best choice for all high-temperature applications requiring no heating/cooling inertia.
