Digestion and Extraction Products & Reviews

The process of fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies. The ETHOS X offers a new approach to gravimetric fat determination, moving toward a more modern, greener and more efficient approach to total fat, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and free fat determinations in food and feed matrices.

Genizer Jacketed Liposome Extruder

The Genizer Online Extruder works with a high-pressure homogenizer to reduce the number of passes needed for optimal liposome size distribution and desired particle sizes. The homogenizer's diamond interaction chamber pre-treats the liposome sample to the nanoscale.

Parallel synthesis made easy.

40 years’ sample preparation expertise driving the most ambitious, user-friendly microwave digestion system ever built: Digestion of a broad array of samples (varying in difficulty or volume), acid leaching, solvent extraction, evaporation, microwave-induced O₂ combustion, sample drying and synthesis. A comprehensive, interactive method library. A customizable, intuitive user interface, and modern sensor technology, together w…

Microwave Digestion System

Better digestions for better analyses.

The new ETHOS™ UP is simply the most advanced yet easy to use system for microwave sample preparation we have ever manufactured. It offers a perfect integration between microwave hardware, user interface, digestion sensors and pressure vessels.  Microwave digestion oven ETHOS UP covers the whole range of samples from routine to high-end applications including US EPA method 3052 for sediments, soils and US EPA method.

The Genizer HandExtruder is a cost-effective tool for micro liposome extrusion. Users manually push the syringe plunger to force the sample through a filter membrane, repeating the process 5 to 10 times for consistent liposome sizes.

Previously known as SPE-DEX ® 3100

Complete acid digestions of all sample types with Multiwave 7000.

Compact distillation units for the determination of nitrogen and protein by such classical methods as Kjeldahl, TKN (total kjeldahl nitrogen) and Devarda. The units have applications in analytical laboratories across a range of industries including food and beverage, agriculture, environmental monitoring, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Process more Kjeldahl samples per day without compromising quality

Quick and compliant fat extraction

With ETHOS™, Milestone introduces the latest and most advanced evolution of microwave rotor-base digestion technology, delivering unmatched performance and reproducibility. At the same time, ETHOS™ goes beyond digestion: thanks to dedicated accessories, it becomes a true microwave labstation, extending its capabilities to applications such as solvent extraction, evaporation, concentration, high-temperature processes, and more.

The ETHOS LEAN, now in its 2nd series, represents this expertise: a compact, affordable labstation delivering full digestion capabilities without compromise. Beyond digestion, ETHOS LEAN supports solvent extraction for chromatography, solvent-free extraction of natural products, and even microwave synthesis workflows, offering unmatched versatility in its class. Selecting the right system is more than a purchase decision: it’s…

Microwave-assisted solvent extraction offers superior lab efficiency in the determination of organic pollutants with microwave green extraction technique. Typical applications include chlorinated pesticides, semi-volatile organics, PAHs, PCBs, chlorinated herbicides, phenols, organophosphorus pesticides, dioxins and furans. ETHOS™ X with the fastEX-24 rotor allows the simultaneous extraction of 24 samples in 40 minutes with mi…

ETHOS™ X microwave extraction line allows quick heating of the cannabis material for terpene isolation. Solvent-free extraction process takes only a few minutes and prevents any thermal degradation often noticed during use of conventional extraction methods. The fresh and characteristic taste of strain-specific cannabis is maintained, and high-quality terpenes are assured. The ETHOS X 2.0 is our latest generation of benchtop…

The ETHOS™ LEAN collects Milestone experience and embraces all these values into a compact and economical solutions for sample preparation, matching the requirements of laboratories that approach microwave digestion without the needs of high-volume labs.
