Sample preparation: UV Digestion |
Digestion instrument for the UV photolysis of water samples with low to moderate amount of organic matter. For sample preparation in voltammetry, ion chromatography, and spectroscopy (AAS, ICP). Comprises a control unit with integrated timer and a separate wet part with UV lamp, cooling equipment, and rack for 12 sample digestion tubes with a sample volume of max. 12 mL each. Instrument for 220 V and 50 Hz.
Most important features - Simultaneous digestion in 12 or 16 quartz sample tubes, depending on the sample volume
- As only minimal amounts of expensive digestion chemicals are needed (typically 50 µL), the blank value is virtually zero
- The costs and the load on the environment are minimal
- The digested solution can be used directly without the need for aliquot sampling or topping up
- The digestion temperature of approx. 90 °C means most effective digestion and practically no losses of volatile elements
