Nieka G Series – Fusion Machine for XRF and ICP Preparation
The solution for HIGH-THROUGHPUT FUSION laboratories
- AT Nieka, we used our strong experience from the fusion industry and forged an instrument that is the perfect fit for the most demanding high throughput fusion laboratories. Downtime is your enemy and using the best tool is your only way to remain on top and deliver results on time.
- For the last years, we spent thousands of hours creating just what you need: a high-throughput instrument that creates perfectly homogenous samples for analysis with no surprise. Thanks to the Nieka exclusive monitoring features, you avoid the unpredictable, even if you are off-site.
- For the first time in a gas fluxer, the G-Series offers a reliable temperature monitoring of the fusion process (patent pending). Nothing has been left aside, from perfect monitoring to perfect fusion: this will lead you to premium analytical results.
Features:
- High Productivity: Produces 4 to 8 glass disks or solutions per cycle (up to 48 samples per hour).
- Automated Operation: Multilingual touchscreen controller with easy to access controls, import and export fusion method from USB or network, easy to follow fusion program execution through the instrument’s display or PC. All fusion parameters can be fully customized for optimal sample preparation.
- Monitoring: Temperature monitoring of the fusion process (patent pending), real-time monitoring through the Nieka data management system.
- Efficiency and Repeatability: Proprietary heating chambers (patent pending) allow a high thermal efficiency and higher fusion temperatures for difficult samples. Each chamber is well separated from the surroundings, allowing a perfect repeatability.
- Easy Installation: Only a low-pressure gas line and a standard electrical outlet are required. The G-Series runs on propane, any other liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas. No compressed air or oxygen is required.
- Options: The G-Series fluxers are available in 2 versions: 4 and 8 positions. Each unit can be delivered to make glass disks or solutions only or both hybrid).
- Safety: Integrated locking safety door, real-time same monitoring and automatic shut-off features, regulatory shutdown button
- Connectivity: USB ports, TCP/IP Ethernet port
- Requirement: 100-240V (50/60Hz) electrical supply, propane/ LPG (37 mbar – 0.5psi) or natural gas (20 mbar – 0.3 psi) line.
