Better digestions for better analyses
The MARS 6 is simply the most user-friendly, safest, and smartest microwave laboratory digestion system on the market. It’s the only system that uses integrated sensor technology to detect the vessel type and sample number, creating a custom algorithm to ensure the highest quality of extract. With options for remote system control and touchless temperature control of all vessels, the MARS 6 can handle even the most challenging samples.
Features of the microwave laboratory digestion system:
- Non-contact in-situ temperature measurement
- Hundreds of pre-programmed methods
- Easy-to-use containers for every application
Now with iWave & iLink
Acid digestion is vital for the preparation of samples for elemental analysis by ICP, ICP-MS or AA spectroscopy. However, traditional acid digestion methods using a hot plate are time consuming and often lead to incomplete digestion. Additionally, the acid fumes released from open vessels can cause corrosion and create hazardous working conditions.
Furthermore, with CEM’s innovative closed vessel design and acid resistant microwave digestion systems, high temperatures and pressures can be achieved, resulting in the rapid digestion of all sample types.
As a result, sample preparation time is reduced from hours to minutes, using less acid, retaining all volatiles and providing a much safer laboratory environment. Whether your work flow requires batch digestion or sequential/ad-hoc tests, CEM have the solution with instrumentation to digest any type of organic and inorganic samples.
The smart way to prepare your samples
One-touch technology
One Touch is like having a CEM chemist at your side. Moreover, this technology features the industries only vessel recognition and counter sensors. As a result, this information is fed to the onboard computer which then selects the exact digestion conditions required for the sample load and vessel type. Furthermore, it also features over 100 pre-programmed methods, including all USEPA methods, along with on-board tutorial videos. Therefore, with One Touch, you simply select your method, and the system does the rest. So, relax…. you have One Touch.
iWave temperature sensors
The accuracy of fibre optic temperature measurement, even without probes
iWave is a contactless in-situ temperature sensor that provides the same accuracy afforded by fiber optic probes. Using wireless iWave technology, the sample is being measured, and not the vessel. It has the ability to monitor each sample individually. As a result, you get optimal control over the digestion process and can generate a report that conforms each sample that reached the correct temperature.
