Innovative instrumentation and groundbreaking techniques can sometimes appear, if not exactly daunting, then at least a little intimidating.
CEM, especially with respect to their Mars 6 microwave digestion system, now featuring iWave technology and iPrep vessels, recognise this, which is why they are committed to providing full training and application support.
CEM say that the MARS 6 is the easiest to use, safest and most intelligent high quality microwave digestion system on the market. It uses proprietary integrated sensor technology to recognise then vessel type and sample number to create a custom algorithm that ensures the highest quality and reliable digestion.
Their iWave sensors offer the accuracy of fibre optic temperature measurement without the probes, while their iPrep vessels can digests up to 2x more samples per run with higher operating parameters than any other vessel.
From their laboratory in Buckingham CEM run a series of training courses to support both new and more experienced users to realise the full potential of instruments such as the MARS 6.
Course registration covers class textbook, laboratory notebook, lunch, standard safety glasses, and even lab coat. Class size is strictly limited to help ensure the quality of training. An ideal start for users is the Sample Preparation Course covering acid digestion for MARS and Discover SP-D users.
Subjects covered include an introduction to microwave heating, principles of organic and inorganic digestion, correct vessel assembly and working with probes, instrument programming, practical organic and inorganic sample preparation and vessel cleaning and inspection.
