Expand with confidence. Multi position fusion technology that ensures consistent, unparalleled sample preparation every time.
The X-300 provides reproducible preparation of a wide range of difficult-to-process materials.
Fusion of milled sample material with flux reagent is achieved under high temperatures in inert platinum sample crucibles. Automated sample handling provides a cold to cold process in an isolated chamber where the samples are heated to extreme temperatures to achieve breakdown and uniform fusion of the sample material. This consistent and repeatable process can produce either a homogenous XRF glass bead or acidic solution for ICP analysis. The innovative sample fusion process is unique to Katanax equipment and can be scaled to support even greater capacity using the X-600.
Sample types include soil, alloys, slag, minerals, ceramics, glass, and cement.
Automated
- Simultaneous processing of up to three samples; the unit is available in 1-, 2-, or 3-postion configurations allowing for expansion up to three positions as needs evolve
- Supports both fused bead preparation for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and solution production for inductively coupled plasma (ICP)
- Pre-loaded and customizable fusion method capabilities with integrated CPLive™ functionality for method storage and device management
- Fully automated, cold-to-cold preparation minimizes manual handling
- Gas-free design, removing the need for combustible or compressed gases
- Electrically controlled temperature control for stable thermal heating profile
- Flux and chemical resistant heating elements preventing brittle breakdown or decomposition along with the convenience of individual replacement
- Fast furnace temperature recovery in less than 15 minutes with stable PID temperature regulation
- User-friendly interface–easily navigate operations with illuminated process indicators and an intuitive touch screen
Supporting mid-tier throughput facilities
- Up to three fusion positions available to support additional capacity as sample processing needs evolve.
- Automated, safe and tough
- Isolated cold-to-sold processing of sample material controlled by automation ensuring reproducible process removing risks of other sample preparation procedures like pressurized HF.
- Empowering efficiency – user-friendly features that allow seamless integration of fusion into any facility and allow technical level operation for consistent results reducing error associated downtime and driving productivity.
- No external power supply, no coolant circulation and no gas lines
- Operates on standard 115 or 230 VAC single-phase power
