Microwave Digestion
Reliable and professional sample preparation is as important as the analysis itself.
Microwave digestion has become the benchmark technology in preparing samples for AAS, ICP and ICP-MS. One of the most obvious reasons is the time saving associated with microwave technology when compared to heating blocks or other techniques.
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.

Mercury Determination
The hazards of mercury contamination make accurate mercury's detection extremely important. In fact, over the past century the amount of mercury released into the biosphere has dramatically increased. Contamination sources include medical and hazardous waste incineration and industrial waste.
Milestone has developed a new instrument that exploits an innovative method which generates accurate and repeatable results in a quickly, simply, and waste-free manner, in substitution of traditional Cold Vapor methods.
DMA-80 and Tri-cell DMA-80
Direct Mercury Analyzer
Milestone’s DMA-80 Direct Mercury Analyzer effortlessly analyzes liquid gas and solid samples without sample digestion and wet chemistry pre-treatment steps and any waste disposal.
The DMA-80 is fast: just 5 minutes per sample are required. 40 samples can be automatically processed in less than 4 hours, start to finish.
An intuitive controller uploads sample weights, controls the analysis and processes data with built-in report generation and networking capabilities.
