Good communication from team

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Water digestion, pharmaceutical product digestion

I find that the TFM vessels leach out metals after a certain amount of use. I am in contact with the team to see what we can do about this issue and so far the team have quick response times and are helpful.

Successful digestion/ downside time to close and open vessels

 

Average Rating 3.0

Application Area:

Food and water and sediment digestion

We have been using the microwave system for many years and successfully decomposed food, water and sediment samples . However, there is a little downside on the technical part. In routine sample prep it takes some time to close and open digestion vessels.

Excellent option for sample preparation.

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Digestion of food and environmental samples

It is a useful equipment, it optimizes time of sample preparation, The fact that it has a tool that let me know when segments are properly closed, give it a plus. In general is an excellent equipment, the only think I suggest to improve is to maintain the power to extend it's useful life.

High efficiency and High throughoutput

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Ambiental and Food/Feed Radiochemistry

The microwave oven we use has solved the safety and speed problems in routine analysis. This has also allowed us to considerably reduce the quantities of radioactive acid waste that must be disposed of as highly hazardous waste, going from 150 ml of classical methods to only 9 ml per sample. The final result is always a highly homogeneous and residue-free solution, using a HNO3/H2O2/HF mixture.

Microwave digestion is the first important step for a successful analysis. The new Milestone ETHOS UP is equipped with the most advanced yet easy to use reaction sensors for complete quality control of the digestion conditions. In combination with our ‘vent-and-reseal’ vessel technology, the sensors ensure complete and safe digestions without any loss of volatile compounds. Three completely new rotors offering high pressure, high sample throughput and high productivity are available for the ETHOS UP. The SK-15 is a high-pressure and high-temperature rotor with a capacity of up to 15 PTFE-TFM vessels of 100 mL and suitable for all applications.The MAXI-44, featuring up to 44 PTFE-TFM vessels of 100 ml, perfectly matches these requirements, providing high productivity and suitable for a wide range of samples including environmental and all organics. The MAXI-24 High Performance rotor doubles pressure limits and improves capacity, increasing volumes of sample and a wide variety of matrices within a single rotor-based platform. Quick-assembly vessels are closed with a simple hand-tightening, improving your daily productivity.

Features:

  • Safety and reliability. Best microwave hardware, temperature and pressure sensors
  • Performance and throughput. easyTEMP temperature control and advanced rotor technology
  • Ease of use and control. EasyCONTROL operating software
  • Expertise and know-how. 30-years experience at your lab with the Milestone Connect
