A new launch for 2023 from Analytix is the latest innovation in microwave digestion, the Milestone ultraWAVE 3 that has higher capacity, lower running costs, and minimal handling to speed up the sample preparation stage. A top temperature of 300°C and an operating pressure up to 199 bar enables complete digestion of the most difficult samples.

The system allows digestion of different samples with different sample weights using different acids all in the same digestion run so there is no need to batch samples of the same type into separate runs.

Very little method development is required with high throughput being achieved through extremely fast heating coupled with a cooled chamber that can reduce total run times to as low as 20 minutes. Operation is so simple that all you need to do is weigh your sample into a disposable low cost vial, load it onto the support rack and press ‘START’, there is also no lengthy capping and uncapping procedure required.
