Microwave hardware

• Two magnetrons
• 1600 Watts installed power
• Unique pyramid-shaped diffuser for optimal microwave distribution and heating
• Rapid heating of high throughput rotors
• Highest safety through unique pressure-responsive door
• Convenient user centric design for easy loading of the vessels into the cavity

The ETHOS One is equipped with two magnetrons and the power installed is 1600 Watts. A pyramid-shaped diffuser evenly distributes the microwaves in the cavity. This unique design ensures optimal microwave distribution, preventing localized hot and cold spots.

The chassis of the ETHOS One is built in corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The cavity and the door are plasma-coated with PTFE to protect the unit.
Moreover, a unique pressure responsive door render your laboratory safer than ever before: an innovative opening and self-resealing mechanism mounted on the door enables safe and immediate release of sudden over pressure in the cavity.

Now, the ETHOS One is equipped with an innovative Automatic Door Locking System that offers a real advantage toward in term of overall safety of the ETHOS One: it does not allow the user to open the door of the microwave unit at the end of the microwave program, untill the internal temperature of the vessels has reached the preset value.

Therefore, it avoids the misuse of the instrument, as the operator can't remove the pressure vessels from the mcrowave unit untill they have reached the room temperature.

The Automatic Door Locking System consists in an electo-magnetic piston, which is automatically and fully controlled by the instrument software and locks the door when the vessels internal temperature is in excess of the preset value, tipically about 50 degrees Celsius.
