The latest microwave platform from CEM is designed to reduce solvent usage and extraction times.
The Discover SP-X is an automated, sequential microwave system that quickly and efficiently performs solid-liquid solvent extractions on a wide variety of matrices including foods, plastics and polymers, environmental samples and textiles.
The system is designed to reduce solvent usage by up to 95% and decrease extraction times from hours to minutes.
Discover SP-X offers full temperature control of every sample and works with all solvents including polar and non-polar.
Microwave energy raises the solvent temperature above the boiling point, allowing for higher extraction efficiencies and samples are run using a programmed method, ensuring uniformity of extraction times and conditions.
Meanwhile, the system features simple set-up and intuitive method programming. Vessels are available in 35- and 80-mL sizes with snap-on caps.
The optional automation deck allows technicians to work on other tasks while the Discover SP-X runs unattended.
Integrated stirring technology provides uniformity in the sample mixture. A typical extraction is ready in 10 - 20 minutes, including cool down.
