‘Total workflow’ sample preparation approach to optimize elemental analysis
17 Jan 2024In this video, Milestone advocates for a 'total workflow' approach to sample preparation in atomic spectroscopy for elemental analysis. The video emphasizes the significance of other often overlooked steps in the sample preparation process. It proposes methods to enhance various aspects of elemental analysis, including lab throughput, data quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety. Drawing on decades of experience, Milestone introduces tools designed to address routine tasks in sample preparation, covering parameters such as reagents handling, cleaning methods, supply of ultrapure acids, and digestion vessel management.

duoPUR Acid Distillation System
MilestoneduoPUR and subPUR, sub-boiling distillation systems allow laboratories to make their own high purity acids at dramatically reduced costs. Offering an optimal purification method, this type of acid distillation uses contactless infrared lamps to vaporize the surface liquid at a temperature typically 20°C below the boiling point. The duoPUR allows the purification of the most common acids such as HNO3 and HCl.
easyFILL Automatic Reagent Dosing Station
MilestoneSample preparation is a central part of elemental analysis and includes several manual and time-consuming steps. Reagent addition into digestion vials or vessels is a tedious and unpleasant process that requires a significant amount of time. The easyFILL Automated Dosing Station addresses these latter challenges using a single platform that ensures the automation of reagent addition and dilution, finally ensuring superior workflow for the lab and higher safety for the operator.
