Launching in 2023 is the latest innovation in microwave digestion, the UltraWAVE3 with Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology where 40 samples can be digested in under 35 minutes. Any combination of sample types and weights with different acid chemistries can be digested at the same time so there is no need to batch samples of the same type into separate runs. Minimal handling also speeds up the preparation stage. A top temperature of 300°C and an operating pressure up to 199 bar enables complete digestion of the most difficult samples.

Through advanced design and engineering, Milestone has been able to reduce the size of SRC technology, resulting in a small benchtop unit that can fit in even the smallest lab. The ultraWAVE3 can digest up to 40 samples – of any matrix – simultaneously. With SRC, all samples are in the same vessel so any combination of sample types with different acid chemistries can be digested at the same time and there is no need to batch samples of the same type into separate runs. Simply weigh the sample into a vial, add acid and place into the sample rack. The ultraWAVE3 is perfect for laboratories that have multiple sample types to digest, or simply want the convenience of SRC technology. The superior digestion quality and minimal blank contribution of SRC makes the system an ideal complement to ICP-MS and AA
