Workstation 'changes the rules' by combining direct microwave heating in a high pressure reactor which acts simultaneously as the microwave cavity and reaction vessel
Imagine being able to go beyond all current capabilities of today's microwave sample preparation systems, says Milestone.
Process more than 50 samples simultaneously, all under identical conditions.
Reactor volumes beyond 270ml.
Process temperatures up to and beyond 280C.
Process pressures in excess of 150bar.
Single sample digestions of 25g organic material.
Significantly reduced consumables and no manual assembling of individual microwave pressure vessels.
Sometimes, the greatest advances can only be made by changing the rules.
Milestone says its Ultraclave removes the limitations of standard microwave labstations by combining direct microwave heating in a high pressure reactor which acts simultaneously as the microwave cavity and reaction vessel.
This allows for larger sample masses, larger batch sizes, and higher temperatures and pressures.
This is the system of choice for high-throughput digestion and extraction, as well as scaling-up synthetic reactions.
