Accuracy

• Entirely automated.
• Fully reproducible fusion methods.
• Completely independent heaters for crucible and mold for optimal temperature control and homogenization.

Safety

• No gases used, so no post-combustion toxic products released.
• Minimal heat dissipation (dissipates less than a hair dryer); casing remains cool to the touch; no need for a powerful vent hood.
• Uses only a regular electrical outlet.
• Integrated safety shield.

Versatility

• Prepares glass disks for XRF, but can also readily do peroxide or pyrosulfate fusions.

• Fully customizable fusion methods.
• Can make liquid and solid oxidations.
• Can be used at either 120 and 240 VAC.

Productivity

• Throughput of 5 to 7 samples/hour.
• User-adjustable holding temperature: the temperature between fusion can be maintained to minimize initial ramping time.

Simplicity

• Plug-and-play: installs in seconds.
• Intuitive, graphical interface.
• Easy menu navigation.
• Virtually maintenance-free; easy component access.
• 1-year limited warranty.
