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

Closed vessel digestion

ETHOS One

The right choice in Microwave Sample Preparation

The ETHOS One is built to offer the highest performance and best safety features in the industry; it offers fast vessel heating together with homogeneous microwave distribution throughout the cavity.
The ETHOS One can process any kind of samples, with full digestion quality control thanks to reaction sensors and a friendly and intuitive user interface that runs the new EasyCONTROL software.

START D

Microwave Digestion System

The START D, the new Milestone microwave system, combines sophisticated design and high technology with ease of use and safe operation. With the Milestone START D, microwave digestion becomes more affordable than ever before.
With its wide selection of rotors, the START D can process any kind of samples, from the relatively easy environmental, such as wastewater or sludge, to the most challenging, such as ceramics or refractories materials.

UltraCLAVE

The Next Generation Microwave Digestion System

The UltraCLAVE offers a completely different approach to microwave sample preparation.
Thanks to its unique design, the UltraCLAVE enables the simultaneous processing of up to 77 samples or the complete digestion of extremely large sample size. Automatic operations require minimal labor and reduce running costs.

UltraWAVE

Benchtop Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) Digestion System

With higher performance, higher sample throughput, improved workflow, plus lower labor and consumables costs when compared with conventional closed vessel systems, the UltraWAVE is transforming microwave digestion. UltraWAVE can replace open vessel digestion, high pressure ashing and even block digestion in many applications.

Open vessel digestion

ETHOS One

The right choice in Microwave Sample Preparation

START MOD

Microwave Open-vessel Digestion System

Milestone’s innovative START MOD system allows rapid simultaneous microwave digestion of 8 large organic samples in open vessels, with sample size up to several grams.
Large samples, are desirable in a variety of applications, to serve as a more representative portion of a larger sample bulk, or to compensate for limitations in the sensitivity of the analytical instrument.

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.
