The Phoenix BLACK™ Sulfated Ash provides complete, safe sulfated ashing in as little as 45 minutes and requires minimal oversight from personnel. Simply add H2SO4 to a sample and place the crucible inside of the furnace. The system will heat to maintain the method specified Stage 1 temperature to mimic pre-ashing. Once that is complete, the system will automatically ramp to a pre-specified temperature to complete the ashing process. With the included vacuum pump and scrubber module, all acid vapors are safely removed and neutralized, making the system safer and simplifying cleanup.
Features
- Meets requirements for all muffle furnaces
- No pre-ashing required
- Eliminates spattering and foaming
- Vapors are safely neutralized and filtered
- Programmable methods and scheduling feature

Where the sulfated ashing furnace is used in Thailand
Based on the specifications above, the Phoenix BLACK Sulfated Ash suits laboratories that:
- Need to run sulfated ash determinations on a routine schedule without an analyst standing over the furnace through every stage.
- Work with samples that spatter or foam once sulfuric acid is added, and want that behaviour controlled by the instrument rather than managed by hand.
- Want acid vapours drawn away and neutralised as the run proceeds, using the vacuum pump and scrubber module that come with the system, so cleanup is simpler.
- Need to follow methods written around muffle furnaces, and to store and schedule those methods instead of setting up each run manually.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Phoenix BLACK Sulfated Ash still require a separate pre-ashing step before the sample goes into the furnace?
No — the acid goes into the sample before loading, and the instrument then handles the first-stage hold and the ramp to final ashing without an operator intervening. Our team can review your existing method with you before you order.
Why buy CEM Phoenix BLACK Sulfated Ash from Thai Unique rather than direct from the manufacturer?
Because the people who look after it are here. Installation, calibration, scheduled maintenance, repairs with genuine parts and operator training are all handled by our team in Thailand, without routing every request overseas.
Can we test our own samples before deciding?
Yes. Our sample testing and method verification service runs your real samples so you can see the results this sulfated ashing furnace gives on your workload before you buy.
How much does it cost, and how do we request a quotation?
Pricing depends on the configuration, accessories and the scope of work in your laboratory. Tell our sales team what you need to analyse and how many samples you run per day, and we will propose a configuration together with lead time and service terms.
