ETHOS One  ease of use

Vessel Loading

The ETHOS One door opens downward enabling the chemist to use it as working platform and facilitate the loading of the vessels into the microwave cavity. Each vessel is handled individually, so the user does not have to directly introduce bulky and heavy carousels into the microwave unit.

Pressure Vessels

A wide range of pressure vessels is available for the ETHOS One, to accommodate all sample preparation requirements. All our vessels are made from very few components to minimize their assembly time, and are extremely simple to set-up. The Q-20 vessels, for instance, are made of just three components: a TFM cover, a high-purity vessel and a safety shield with built-in safety valve.

Reaction Sensors

The ETHOS One is equipped with the most advanced reactions sensors for precise and accurate temperature and pressure control.
These sensors monitor and control  all vessels simultaneously, preventing any vessels from venting and subsequent loss of volatile compounds.

SafeVIEW

The ETHOS One is equipped with the SafeVIEW, a high definition digital camera combined with a 5,6” TFT-LCD module. The SafeVIEW allows the chemist to visually monitor the course of the digestion although fully protected by the all-stainless steel door of the instrument. Additionally, a video of the entire digestion run can be recorded and saved as MPEG file on a Windows-compatible memory card.

Control Terminal

The ETHOS One is operated via a compact control terminal with easy-to-read, bright, full-colour, touch-screen display.
The terminal runs the Milestone’s unique multilanguage EasyCONTROL software, to provide simple, user-friendly control of the microwave sample preparation process with automatic, real-time monitoring and feedback-based control of multiple parameters.
Simply recall a factory-stored method or create a new one; press ‘START’ and the system will automatically follow the user defined temperature or pressure profile, utilizing a sophisticated PID algorithm to regulate the microwave power.

Easy Data Transfer

Methods and runs are saved on a flash-card or on a USB pen-drive, directly readable by any PC. This capability offers virtually unlimited memory for storing all your sample preparation data. Furthermore, with Milestone’s Windows-based EasyDOC software, it is possible to convert all sample preparation data into standard formats readable by any database or spreadsheet software (Excel, etc.).
