The new extremely flexible pyrolyzer EGA/PY-3030D from Frontier Lab is based on the proven technique of vertical micro furnace, as its successful parent PY-2020iD/iS.

The new model PY-3030D is equipped with a low ceramic heater featuring improved thermal stability and a new extended temperature range of 40 – 1050 °C. Now also very temperature stable polymer compounds can be cracked. The re-designed needle interface ensures thermal uniformity and easier maintenance. The special design of the furnace, the optimized temperature control of all critical parts of the system and the inertness of the flow path guarantee an outstanding reproducibility.

Due to the change to a low mass ceramic heater the pyrolyzer heats and cools very quickly. So the cycle time of the furnace could be sped up to about 3 times faster and more samples than ever can be handled. Productivity can be increased even further using the AS-1020E autosampler with its sample carousel accommodating up to 48 sample cups.

Different samplers are available extending the application range of the pyrolyzer. Only by changing the sampler the user can choose between Single-Shot/Double-Shot Pyrolysis (Thermal Desorption and Pyrolysis), liquid Injection, (High Pressure) Reactive Pyrolysis and UV irradiation and subsequent measurement of volatiles released from the sample or pyrolysis of the irradiated sample.

For interpretation of the pyrograms Frontier Lab provides the recently upgraded F-Search Software package (Ver.3.1) with special Libraries like EGA & Pyrogram libraries as well as an Additive and a Pyrolyzate library, to make identification and characterization of unknown polymeric material easier and more convenient.

The Single-Shot model PY-3030S for classical flash pyrolysis (isothermal pyrolysis) offers the ideal access for newcomers in Pyrolysis GCMS with an attractive price/performance ratio.
