Overview

Minimum maintenance, even in tough conditions

The costs of downtime and replacement parts are the last thing you want in the lab. Designed for less thermal stress and reduced risk of contamination, FORJ minimizes the need for maintenance, ensuring greater efficiency and higher productivity.

Minimum maintenance, even in tough conditions

Results you can count on

Analytical chains depend on the repeatability of results – and for that, high-quality sample preparation is key. FORJ enables consistent heating between fusion positions, homogeneous melt, and contamination-free heating for superior analytical results.

Results you can count on

World-leading speed

In sample prep, high-throughput fusion instruments are fundamental. Thanks to its tray loader option, FORJ is the fastest on the market – boosting productivity by up to 25% with the same compact footprint. 

World-leading speed

Hassle-free handling

New fusion instruments shouldn’t be a source of frustration. Suitable for full-lab integration, FORJ is easy to install and provides a safe and user-friendly interface, so you can quickly get up and running.
