Pyrolyser

The Pyrolyser-6 Trio and Pyrolyser-2 Trio are advanced furnace systems by Raddec, engineered for efficient and safe extraction of tritium (³H) and carbon-14 (¹⁴C) from various sample types, including food, biota, soil, sediments, metals, and construction materials. These systems are widely adopted in nuclear, environmental, and defense sectors, providing reliable performance for radiological analysis through thermal extraction.
