Katanax X-Fluxer® X-300 Melting Digestion System
Katanax X-Fluxer® X-300 Melting Digestion System
Der Katanax Fluxer X-300 – Herstellung von Schmelztabletten oder Säureaufschluss für die RFA oder ICP mit einer, zwei oder drei Probenpositionen - rein elektrisch ohne Gas oder andere Medien ... so einfach und sicher war der Schmelzaufschluss noch nie.Der modular aufgebaute Katanax X-300 verfügt über eine intuitive Touchscreenbedienung und arbeitet vollautomatisch. Sieben einzeln geregelte Heizelemente aus säurebeständiger Keramik gewährleisten eine exakte Temperaturführung und somit reproduzierbare Ergebnisse bei langer Lebensdauer. Das optional erhältliche Rührmodul kann dauerhaft im Gerät verbleiben und ermöglicht den schnellen Wechsel von Schmelztabletten zu Säureaufschlüssen.
Product Description
The production of melting tablets for X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) or acid digestions for ICP analysis (ICP-AES, ICP-OES or ICP-MS) is one of the standard methods for sample preparation.
The previously ground and homogenised sample, such as cement, rock or ore, is mixed with a suitable flux (e.g. lithium borate) and melted in a platinum crucible in the furnace. The oxidised sample is completely dissolved in a borate glass and, after the dissolution process, emptied from the platinum crucible into a pouring dish while still hot. This produces a homogeneous melting tablet with an extremely smooth surface without matrix effects.
The Katanax Fluxer X-300, like the X-Fluxer® X-600, is a fully automatic and purely electrically operated melt digestion device, which ensures fast, simple and, above all, reproducible sample preparation of one to three samples in parallel, with a throughput of up to 15 samples per hour. The Katanax Fluxer X-300 does NOT require gas or other media, only a 230V power supply. The device therefore offers a high degree of safety for use in the laboratory while minimising infrastructure requirements. The system has a high-performance muffle furnace with excellent temperature distribution. The heating elements are controlled separately (patent pending).
The Katanax Fluxer X-300 can be used to produce either melting tablets for XRF or acid digestions, e.g. for ICP-OES / ICP-MS, with the optional stirring station. The hot melt is poured into a stirred Teflon beaker with an acid bath.
The Katanax Fluxer X-300 is operated intuitively via a colour LCD touchscreen with a multilingual graphical interface (including German, English, French, etc.) and is pre-programmed with various digestion methods (e.g. for oxides, minerals, metals, alloys, fluorides, sulphides, peroxide and acid digestion, etc.), which can be used directly or adapted to specific samples. This allows the user to start sample preparation immediately. An Ethernet and USB connection are also available to the user for data transfer. These can be used for remote control, remote diagnostics or for direct connection to an existing laboratory information system (LIMS).
The parameters for the heating process in several steps, the mixing time and the intensity of the mixing (speed and deflection angle of the crucible) as well as for the pouring and cooling process (passive and active via fans) are preset, saved and run automatically. They can be called up and edited by the operator at any time. This means that the majority of existing and routinely processed samples can already be handled. This makes the Katanax Fluxer X-300 a fusion digestion device for all conceivable applications – it can also be used for solid oxidation, peroxide and pyrosulphate digestion. For new samples and methods, we also offer our users a customised, free method development service based on material samples sent in, including the creation of individual application documents.
