Revolutionizing elemental analysis: A comprehensive guide to microwave digestion technology

6 Sept 2024

Microwave closed-vessel digestion technology is an essential asset of the sample preparation process. Despite significant advancements in rotor-based digestion, limitations prompted the exploration of alternative technologies to meet modern labs requirements. To address these limitations, Milestone has developed and patented a new microwave technology known as Single Reaction Chamber (SRC). Explore this innovative approach which aims to eliminate existing limitations while significantly enhancing digestion performance.
