Microwave apparatus: Digester Sample preparation: Wet Digestion |
The TRANSFORM 800 top-loading closed vessel Microwave offers a high-pressure system to enhance digestion quality while decreasing digestion times. This system is capable of simultaneously running up to 10 high-pressure closed vessels, providing a fast, automated method to digest even the most difficult samples. With simple one-step operation and full computer control of temperature, pressure and power, this cost-effective MW 800 consolidates your AA, ICP-AES, and ICP-MS applications. Features
- Round, pressure resistant heavy duty oven chamber made of PFA-coated stainless steel
- Evenly distributed microwave field throughout the chamber to ensure uniform heat for each sample vessel
- Closed vessels designed to operate at up to 250°C temperature and 800psi pressure with up to 10 vessels
- Direct sensing and controlling of sample temperature and pressure of closed vessels to ensure reproducible digestion every time
- On-line EPA protocols and methods directory, full compliance with EPA methods
- Flexibility to program individual methods for specific customizable sample preparation
- Automated recording of conditions of each analysis
- Real-time, Microsoft windows compatible software for remote control via external PC
Computer Control MW 800 is a full computer controlled system. Its software features real-time control of temperature and pressure with graphic display, automatic data storage, unlimited method storage, and complete record of instrument parameters. Closed Vessel Digestion The MW 800 can hold 10 high-pressure vessels capable of digesting at 800 psi and 250°C. A sealed thermocouple and pressure sensor enable fast and accurate temperature and pressure control. The MW 800 microwave system is available at less cost than comparable microwave systems but with equivalent safety and performance ability. Safety - Fume exhaust module
- Over pressure vent detection mechanism shuts down the microwave power applicable for each vessel
- Teflon lining of oven cavity
- Digestion vessels molded with engineering plastics
- Over-pressure ruptured disks on each vessel
- Continuous temperature and pressure monitoring and control
- Release of acid fumes into collection reservoir in vessel carouse
