Revolutionize Your Sample Preparation: High-Performance Microwave Digestion Systems
Achieving accurate and precise elemental analysis via techniques like ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy begins with robust and reliable sample preparation. Our advanced Microwave Digestion Systems are engineered to provide rapid, safe, and efficient decomposition of even the most challenging samples, transforming them into clear, homogeneous solutions ready for analysis.
Designed for laboratories demanding speed, safety, and superior data quality, our systems streamline your workflow, reduce potential contamination, and enhance overall productivity.
Key Benefits
Drastically Reduced Digestion Times: Complete sample preparation in minutes, not hours, significantly accelerating your analytical throughput.
Superior Sample Recovery & Accuracy: Achieve complete digestion and minimize analyte loss with controlled high-temperature and high-pressure conditions within closed vessels.
Enhanced Operator Safety: Closed-vessel technology and robust safety features protect users from exposure to corrosive reagents and high temperatures/pressures.
Minimized Contamination: Inert vessel materials (TFM-PTFE, PFA, quartz) and the closed-vessel design prevent external contamination, leading to lower detection limits and cleaner blanks.
Versatile Application Range: Effectively digest a broad spectrum of sample matrices, from environmental and food samples to geological, pharmaceutical, and industrial materials.
Reduced Reagent Consumption: Efficient digestion often requires less acid, leading to lower operating costs and reduced waste.
Intuitive & User-Friendly Operation: Advanced software and a clear interface make method development, real-time monitoring, and data management simple.
Core Features
1. Advanced Microwave Technology
Precise Power Control: Utilizes sophisticated magnetron technology with continuous or variable power output for highly reproducible heating profiles and optimal digestion efficiency.
Homogeneous Cavity Design: A robust, corrosion-resistant stainless steel cavity ensures uniform microwave distribution, leading to consistent digestion across all samples.
Multi-Mode Heating: Some models offer intelligent multi-mode heating, eliminating hot spots and ensuring even energy distribution.
2. State-of-the-Art Digestion Vessels
High-Purity Materials: Crafted from durable, chemically inert materials like TFM-PTFE or PFA, offering exceptional temperature and pressure resistance with minimal blank contribution.
High Pressure & Temperature Capability: Vessels designed to withstand extreme conditions (e.g., up to 300°C and 199 bar / 2900 psi), allowing for complete digestion of even refractory samples.
Integrated Safety Features: Each vessel incorporates safety mechanisms like rupture discs or controlled pressure release valves to ensure safe operation.
Easy Handling & Assembly: Ergonomic design for quick and secure assembly, disassembly, and cleaning. Various vessel volumes (e.g., 50 mL, 75 mL, 100 mL) available to suit different sample sizes.
3. Intelligent Control Software & Interface
Intuitive Touchscreen Display: A large, high-resolution touchscreen provides easy access to all system functions, method parameters, and real-time data.
Pre-programmed & Customizable Methods: Includes a library of optimized methods for common applications, with full flexibility to create and save custom digestion programs.
Real-time Monitoring: Continuously monitors and displays critical parameters such as temperature, pressure (for each vessel or average), and microwave power.
Advanced Data Logging: Records all digestion parameters for comprehensive documentation, GLP/GMP compliance, and method validation.
Safety Interlocks: Automated safety checks ensure vessels are correctly loaded and the system operates within safe parameters.
4. Comprehensive Safety Measures
Active & Passive Pressure Control: Systems feature precise pressure control, with active venting capabilities and passive safety features on each vessel.
Over-Pressure & Over-Temperature Protection: Automatic shutdown and alarm systems prevent operation beyond specified limits.
Ventilation System: Integrated or external exhaust systems effectively remove corrosive fumes and maintain a safe lab environment.
Door Interlocks: Prevents microwave operation if the door is not securely closed.
5. Efficient Cooling System
Rapid Forced-Air or Water Cooling: Reduces cool-down times significantly, allowing for faster sample turnaround and increased productivity.
