Ashing furnace for sensitive analytical applications
Ensure analytical purity and safely test materials by containing corrosive vapors and avoiding contamination from traditional chamber materials, ideal for sensitive mineral and elemental analysis.

Contains Corrosive Vapours and Processes Diverse Samples
The GSM 11/8 from Carbolite Gero is an ashing furnace designed to tackle the challenges of mineral and elemental analysis with its unique fused quartz chamber. This construction minimizes contamination from alumina or silica dust, making it ideal for testing geological, metal, and chemical samples. The furnace excels in containing aggressive and corrosive vapours such as sulphuric, nitric, and hydrochloric acids, maintaining sample integrity during high-temperature processes up to 1100°C.
Working on a batch operation mode, the GSM 11/8 uses a single ramp and process timer controlled by the Carbolite Gero 301 controller, allowing for precise temperature management. The furnace integrates seamlessly into laboratories and industrial research operations, especially in chemical and environmental testing facilities. Optional features, including a gas inlet for modified atmospheres and advanced digital controllers, enhance its versatility.
Additionally, the furnace supports a range of applications from ashing to heat treatment of various solid, liquid, and gaseous samples. It is constructed for easy integration into both manual and automated production lines, with customizable configurations available to meet specific industry standards and operational needs.
