Microwave Digestion
Reliable and professional sample preparation is as important as the analysis itself.
In conventional digestion procedures, the highest temperature of the acid is the boiling point of the acid itself. The time required to digest a sample is mostly a function of the temperature of acid used for reaction. In closed vessel digestion procedures the sample and the acid are added in a microwave transparent vessel. The vessel is closed and safely contained. When microwave energy is applied the pressure in the vessel increases, with a corresponding increase of the boiling point of the acid, thus dramatically reducing digestion times.
Milestone makes microwave digestion faster, easier, safer, and ever affordable than before. Milestone revolutionary microwave instrumentations offers solutions able to:
-
Decrease digestion times from hours to minutes
-
Avoid loss of volatile elements
-
Avoid acid fumes in laboratory’s environment
-
Avoid sample contamination
-
Low blanks since minimal quantities of acids are used
-
Avoid sample contamination
-
Run 100% unattended operations thanks to the terminal-controlled digestion program

Clean Chemistry
During trace and ultra-trace elemental analysis a number of external factors (such as reagent purity, cross contamination, etc.) that can critically impact the quality of the results.
The inability to control the analytical blank (its chemical composition, its measurement, its effective control) is often the primary source of error and the limiting factor for trace analysis.
Milestone has developed an innovative and complete line of systems and accessories for control and reduction of the analytical blank in ICP-MS, ICP-AES and GFAA.
These instruments are dedicated to acid purification, ultratrace cleaning of vessels and reduction of contamination from vessel surface.
DuoPUR and SubPUR
The DuoPUR is sub-boiling distillation system which enables laboratories to produce ultra-pure acids from reagent-grade stock to keep the overall blank at the lowest level.
The DuoPUR is the most economic, efficient and safe purification system: up to 90% of the costs are saved and high productivity is granted (up to 3 liters in 8 hours).

TraceCLEAN
Automatic acid reflux system
Milestone’s new TraceCLEAN is an automated, closed, acid reflux system that thoroughly and safely cleans digestion vessels, inserts and AA, ICP, ICP-MS accessories.
The main benefit of this system is that any trace metal contaminants that are present in the cleaning acid stay within the reservoir and do not come in contact with the cleaned trace accessories.
