nanoFurnace

Description

The GBC nanoFurnace is a high temperature Graphitisation Furnace for processing graphite in a research setting. A pyrolytic graphite tube may be heated up to 3000°C. The temperature is controlled via software running on a Windows® PC. The sample is loaded into the graphite tube and may be then processed to produce graphene or other forms of carbon in an inert local atmosphere. A choice of two gas types are available. The software allows a multi step heating program, and each step may have one or two gas choices, together or individually.

To use, the furnace is opened allowing the graphite tube to be removed. The sample may then be placed into the tube. The tube is re-inserted into the furnace and the heating program run.

The workhead of the nanoFurnace can be fitted with an optional USB camera, for monitoring of the process on a screen.
