The Multiwave 7000 microwave digestion system from Anton Paar combines the concept of the company’s HPA-S with modern microwave technology, representing the best way of acid digestion.
Multiwave 7000 provides complete digestions, a streamlined workflow, lightweight accessories, budget-friendly easy-to-handle vials, budget-friendly upgrades, ready-to-use methods and automated cleaning procedures.
The core feature of Multiwave 7000, the PDC (Pressurized Digestion Cavity), allows acid digestion at temperatures up to 300 °C and pressures up to 199 bar. This ensures complete digestions of all kinds of samples such as food, environmental, polymer, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, geological, chemical, and petrochemical samples - even in the same run. The vials with plug-on caps are available in glass (disposable), quartz, or PTFE-TFM and provide tool-free, even screw-free, handling. Lightweight and budget-friendly PTFE-TFM racks and vials save running costs and reduce the maximum weight which needs to be carried to less than 1 kg for up to 24 samples.
Temperature and pressure sensors for reaction control are already integrated in the PDC so no optional sensors need to be handled. Implemented ready-to-use methods and Anton Paar’s customer-specific application support replace time-consuming method development. Disposable vials and automated cleaning procedures further minimise laboratory work. Racks with up to 24 positions, combined with 2000 W power and integrated water cooling minimise heating and cooling times and maximise sample throughput.
The system can automatically send notifications of completed runs and events via email and gives an audio signal and a visual signal via Smart Light to inform users of instrument status. It can be remotely controlled via VNC from a computer, notebook, or mobile phone.
