Ethos 1

Microwave Digestion System

With the Start D, Milestone makes microwave digestion easy, safe, and affordable.
With its wide selection of rotors, the Start D can process any kind of samples, from the relatively easy environmental, such as wastewater or sludge, to the most challenging, such as ceramics or refractory materials

Microwave Open Vessel Digestion System

Milestone’s innovative Start Mod system allows rapid simultaneous microwave digestion of 8 large organic samples in open vessels, with sample size up to several grams.
Large samples, are desirable in a variety of applications, to serve as a more representative portion of a larger sample bulk, or to compensate for limitations in the sensitivity of the analytical instrument.

Advanced Microwave Digestion Labstation

The Ethos 1 fully embodies Milestone’s philosophy in microwave sample preparation. Specifically designed for closed vessel acid digestion, the Ethos 1 can process any kind of samples, with full control of all reaction parameters and built-in “Digestion Quality Assurance”.

Pyro
Pyro SA

Microwave Ashing System

An innovative microwave ashing/sulphate ashing system, the Milestone’s Pyro allows for the reduction of the sample ashing time from hours to minutes.
Particularly suitable for pharmaceutical, polymer, oil and food/feed samples. Temperature up to 1.000° C can be reached in less than one hour.

Microwave Sulphate Ashing System

The basic principles of operation are the same as the Pyro, with the addition of the Sulphate Ashing Module and the VAC-1000 Acid Scrubber. Sulfuric acid fumes released from crucibles inside the muffle furnace are continuously removed, through a quartz tube connected to an air-cooled quartz collection vessel mounted outside of the unit, and to the VAC-1000 acid scrubber module.
