Across International 1200℃ split tube furnace
This multipurpose, portable, and compact 50×600mm (OD×length) portable split Quartz tube furnace employs spiral wire coils embedded in alumina fiber insulation with a double-walled steel internal housing. Its operation is controlled by a 30-segment digital controller and the temperature can go up to 1200℃ with the built-in overshoot protection. It hosts plumbing connections for a vacuum pump and pressure gauges. The rated vacuum pressure is 0.001 Pa.

Raman Laser Gas Analyzer
This Laser Gas Analyzer can measure the concentrations of eight gases including CO2, H2O, N2, O2, Ar etc. at four locations using the Raman signature of the gases in real-time. This system can detect gases with concentrations as small as 10 ppm. This is a novel and cost-effective approach to monitor gas concentrations when compared to the standard mass spectrometry techniques. The standard mass spectrometer systems are costly and require a vacuum pump to maintain ultra-low-pressure conditions so that only those gas molecules that need to be analyzed can enter the sensor and contact the detector. For the same reason, multipoint measurement of gas streams is not possible in the traditional systems despite their high costs. In the case of Raman Laser Gas Analyzer (Figure), laser beams can be employed at multiple locations, which return the Raman Shift for each of the involved gases including water vapor (Water vapor is a problem for conventional mass spectrometers).
