Contract Lab for USP Testing?

All,

I'm at a loss. I'm looking for a contract lab that can run the USP Assay for calcium silicate / silicon dioxide, as given in the USP 30 monograph for calcium silicate. Apparently it calls for a muffle furnace at 1300C and none of my old standby labs have a furnace that can go that high. Anyone?

Thanks.
Jeff

it might be a long shot but mining labs or labs performing soil analysis probably still use muffle furnaces...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was just informed that the monograph may be revised to use 1000C instead, which should be much less of an issue.
