The Game Changer in Microwave Digestion

Milestone’s (Italy) unique Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology overcomes the limitations of traditional microwave sample preparation.

At the heart of the system is a large sample chamber that is pre-pressurised with inert gas and heated with microwave energy. The chamber serves both as a microwave cavity and a reaction vessel. Employing the same SRC technology as the UltraCLAVE, the UltraWAVE offers the same great benefits, but in a smaller benchtop instrument, making it accessible to every lab.

With higher performance, higher sample throughput, improved workflow, plus lower labour and consumables costs when compared with conventional closed vessel systems, the UltraWAVE is transforming microwave digestion.

And not only microwave digestion: its higher sample weight capability, greater digestion power, outstanding throughput and ease of operation means UltraWAVE can replace open vessel digestion, high pressure ashing and even block digestion in many applications.

Unlike closed vessel digestion, different sample matrices can be digested together, and the chamber is water cooled, which makes cool down time very fast.
