Advanced Vessel Technology


‘Vent-and-reseal’ vessels are the foundation of Milestone’s microwave digestion technology. Continuously enhanced, this patented (US Patent 5,270,010) technology provides analysts with unsurpassed performance capabilities.

  • High temperature and pressure
  • Highest safety standards
  • Easy of use
  • Fast air cooling

 


MDR Technology

The ‘dome-shaped’ spring is temporarily flattened in case of overpressure (1), allowing the cap to lift-up (2) slightly and release the pressure. Once the pressure has been released, the cap closes again (3), and the microwave program can continue.


Burst disk venting

When a specific pressure is achieved, the disk bursts, and the pressure dramatically drops to zero. Sample is lost, and the program must be manually stopped.

Milestone unique vent-and-reseal venting

Only the excess pressure is released from the vessel, and the digestion process can be completed in full safety.

A wide range of vessels are available from Milestone, to accommodate all sample preparation requirements.
