How to reduce contamination from the surface of sample vessels

Over the past two decades, materials identified as being non-contaminating (PTFE, quartz) have become the top choices for reaction vessels... for ultra trace analysis

US EPA SW-846, Chapter 3, Update IVB

Digestion vessel material is a key consideration for clean chemistry sample preparation.
Milestone engineers all their PTFE vessels from TFM, the most dense and thermally resistant form of PTFE available for microwave digestion.
TFM is chemically inert to most dissolution reagents and provides a noncontaminating environment for trace metals analysis.
Ultra-pure quartz is the other material of choice for insert for trace analysis. TFM and Quartz inserts can be used within standard TFM vessels for smaller samples or to minimize the dilution factor.

Microsampling Inserts

Microsampling inserts

TFM or Quartz inserts are useful for microsampling applications. They allows to increase the throughput of a 12 position rotor up to 36 positions.
300°C and 100 bar can be reached within sealed vessel.
Microsampling inserts fit within 100 ml vessels and use standard temeprature monitoring.

High Purity Quartz Inserts

Quartz and TFM inserts

They are the ideal solution for ultra-trace analysis because their convex surface prevents loss of analytes from condensation.

  • 50 ml high purity quartz inserts
  • Convex surface prevents loss of analytes from condensation
  • Minimize electrostatic effects
  • Fits within standard 100 ml vessels, uses standart temperature monitoring

 

Extra High Purity TFM Inserts

They minimize the acid volume and optimize the dilution factor.

  • 30 ml, extra high purity TFM
  • Ideal for smaller samples
  • Minimize acid volume
  • Optimize dilution factor
  • fits within standard 100 ml vessels, uses standard temeprature monitoring
