Milestone, Italy, 2008.

Description: Microwave digestion system is equipped with HPR-1000/10S segmented rotor operating under high pressure (100 bar) and high temperature (up to 240 °C). Rotor possesses 10 slots (segments) with Teflon cuvettes for acid digestion/dissolution of samples. QS-40 quartz insets are a special addition used for small sample volumes and maximal protection from contamination. The device is capable of rapid total dissolution/mineralization of all kinds of samples (including silicates), extraction using organic solvents, and microwave-hydrothermal synthesis. All microwave-assisted processes are considerably more effective and faster (maximum process duration 30 min). Possibility of contamination has been minimized.
