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).

Microwave Ashing
Microwave ashing is a breakthrough for quality control and rapid sample preparation.
The determination of ash content, whether for process control or as a preparation method for other analytical techniques, is an important test performed daily in thousands of laboratories. While ashing is a relatively simple process, conventional muffle furnaces are inefficient in a number of respects which often leads to the process being tedious and time consuming. An alternative to muffle furnaces, electrical resistance furnaces, are typically costly to maintain due to high energy consumption. Additionally, both of these types of instruments have a tendency to diffuse heat making the surrounding laboratory environment uncomfortable due to heat and odors.
Milestone offers microwave ashing systems to meet the needs of your laboratory.
PYRO
