The Eco-Cups are mode of stainless steel and the surface is coated by a thin quartz film. Therefore, there is very little interaction with pyrolyzates. However, repeated heating of the cups using torch flame can damage the surface and expose the stainless steel surface. It is recommended that the cup be tested, in advance, using a standard sample, especially in an analysis of vulnerable compounds such as brominated flame retardants.

1,050°C.

The surface of the quartz tubes is an inactive siloxane (SiO2) structure, therefore; no additional deactivation treatments are necessary.

The 2020 and 3030 series pyrolyzers have several parts that are the same. These include the Eco-Cup, Eco-Stick, Graphite Vespel ferrule, and the ITF (interface) union. Parts not shared include the pyrolysis tube and associated O-ring(s). All consumable parts are listed in the operation manual of your pyrolyzer. The consumable parts catalogue available.
