 Bench top microwave digestion system for trace-metals analysis for USP <232> and <233>
Milestone’s UltraWAVE is a benchtop microwave system that uses Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology to improve the sample-prep workflow for trace-metals analysis by ICP-MS/OES. The system is offered as a replacement option for both traditional open-vessel and closed-vessel digestion systems in pharmaceutical laboratories, and can enhance efficiency by increasing sample throughput while lowering labor costs. Unlike traditional digestion systems, the SRC can process multiple sample types simultaneously, and up to 15 samples can be digested at one time in less than an hour from start to finish. The unit can also handle large sample weights (5 x 2 g), previously only possible with open vessel digestion. The high-temperature (300 °C) and high-pressure (199 bar) capabilities of the UltraWAVE can also result in more complete digestions and better analytical data quality.
