The science of great preparation: Introducing the MPS 320 Microwave Digestion System

16 Mar 2023

In this product brochure, PerkinElmer introduces the MPS 320™ Microwave Digestion System. In environmental, food, cannabis, and pharmaceutical or manufacturing QA/QC testing, achieving reliable, reproducible results depends on the quality of your sample preparation. A microwave digestion system is often the first step in any successful trace elemental analysis workflow.

The MPS 320 is an easy-to-use microwave digestion system that accommodates a wide range of sample matrices and applications. The instrument is designed to be top-loading, ruggedized, reliable, and safe for anyone in the lab to operate. It promises a choice of closed-vessel digestion, a requirement for working with volatile compounds, or unique, easy-to-use auto-venting vessels. You can also choose from high-performance 8 and 16-position rotors or opt for a high-throughput 32-position setup.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Food and Beverage ProcessingFood and Beverage Processing involves the preparation of food products for further analysis. Typical instrumentation includes blanchers, color sorters, cookers, grinders, and refrigeration. These are used to replicate the processes commonly used in the commercial preparation of food and beverages.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.Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. Drug TestingIt is essential to test the efficacy and toxicity of drugs at every stage of their development to ensure that a pharmaceutical product is fit for purpose and safe for use before reaching the stage of mass production and distribution.Food TestingFood testing refers to a variety experiments including PCR, mass spectrometry, processing, QuEChERS, analyzing and Kjeldahl.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.Cannabis
