ultraWAVE SRC (Single Reaction Chamber) Microwave Digestion System

Milestone

ultraWAVE has already revolutionized and enhanced the way analytical chemists think to sample preparation for trace metal analysis in hundreds of laboratories all over the world. ultraWAVE is based on the SRC (Single Reaction Chamber technology), invented by Milestone several years ago ( EP0728038B1 ). SRC technology achieves extraordinary performance capabilities combining microwave heating with a high-pressure reactor which acts simultaneously as microwave cavity and vessel.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Digestion and ExtractionDigestion and extraction apparatus are used in sample preparation to break down samples or extract organic or aqueous compounds from a solid. Digestion may be conducted via hot block, microwave or Kjeldahl digestion apparatus. Extraction systems typically involve solvent extraction and include Soxhlet, Randall or Twisselmann extraction methods. Find the best digestion and extraction apparatus in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microwave SynthesisPolymersPolymers are large molecules made up of many repeat units. Natural polymers such as DNA and proteins are essential to life, whereas synthetic polymers such as polystyrene and polyethylene are used widely due to their functionality. Typical techniques for analysis include GPC, SEC, DSC, FT-IR and NMR.Environmental AnalysisEnvironmental analysis describes a variety of tests that determine the effect of chemicals, processes and particulates such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have on the environment.PharmaceuticalsPharmaceuticals are medicinal drugs used in healthcare to diagnose, prevent, cure and treat illnesses. Pharmaceuticals that are excreted after use appear in wastewater and can have detrimental effects on the environment.Sample ProcessingSample processing is required to prepare samples prior to analysis. Technologies used for sample processing include homogenizers, grinders, mills and mixers.Digestion
