Sample Preparation/Digestion

Both microwave digestion and open vessel digestion are available for preparing solids and other complex matrices for analysis. Microwave digestions are done on a CEM Mars5 Microwave system or a Milestone Ethos Microwave unit. A wide range of sample vessels are available for each unit. Both microwave units can be programmed in either a temperature- or pressure-control mode and are equipped with internal stirring capabilities to handle the most difficult sample matrices.
