# src digestion

A new method for the determination of Cl, Br and I in food, mineralizing samples in a mixture composed exclusively of H2O2 in an alkaline medium is presented here. The high performances of ultraWAVE system allow to obtain high quality digested solutions with low Residual carbon content (RC). This innovative protocol allows to decrease the analysis process thanks to the fast sample preparation procedure performed with Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology.

Microwave-assisted digestion of organic samples: How simple can it become? Many papers recently published deeply exploit these instruments when applied for digestions of plants, animal tissues, foods, suet oil and pharmaceutical samples. Discover the most recent literature on the field.

Total Research and Technology in Belgium equipped their laboratory with a Milestone ultraWAVE to facilitate laboratory analyses and analytical developments for their R&D projects. In partnership with Milestone’s application team, the lab developed a new methodology that enabled them to optimize their sample preparation process across the wide variety of sample types they need to analyze.

Considering the elevated performances of the Milestone SRC technology, the Universal Oil Products (UOP) Company has developed reference methods aimed to determine the EFFICIENCY AND COMPLIANCE OF SRC ULTRAWAVE 3 FOR PETROLEUM MATRICES Rev 1/2025 2 ultraWAVE 3 | PETROCHEMICALS INDUSTRY REPORT concentration of target metals in organic matrices by ICP-MS. In particular, two official methods have been considered in this industry report: one for the detection of major elements (UOP Method 1005-14) and another specifically for silicon in all its forms (UOP Method 1006-14); both referes the ultraWAVE for the digestion process.

The book "Sample preparation for elemental analysis: from evolution to revolution" explains how sample preparation plays a pivotal role in elemental analysis and its impact on the data quality, the laboratory throughput and the analysis costs. Over the last 30 years, this technology went through a series of incremental innovations that further evolved technology and intercepted the needs of several industries.

Recent regulations on heavy metal testing have required the pharmaceutical industry to monitor a suite of elemental impurities in pharmaceutical raw materials, drug products and dietary supplements. These directives are described in the new USP Chapters , and .

Learn how a total workflow sample prep approach including SRC digestion can improve a lab's sample throughput, quality of results, cost structure, and safety.

Synlab invested in multiple ultraWAVE units to help reduce their sample preparation bottleneck. These systems exceeded our expectations, increasing the sample digestion capacity of our laboratory by 100%, while reducing costs, and signifi cantly improving digestion quality.

For the first time the concepts and significance of green chemistry are applied to microwave digestion. Read the text Think Green and learn how to reduce acid consumption and waste, while haveing a safer working conditions in the laboratory

Elemental analysis of polymer systems is frequently inconclusive or erroneous if the sample is not completely digested. Together with the Milestone UltraWAVE and traceCLEAN acid steam cleaning system, we have the capability to tackle the most difficult samples while reaching detection limits in the parts per trillion (ppt) range.

ultraWAVE was awarded as the most innovative product in sample preparation for metal analysis

The ultraWAVE replaced Unilever's existing closed vessel microwave system and doubled their sample digestion capacity without increasing the hours of labor associated with the current sample prep. With the UltraWAVE they are able to digest any difficult sample while obtaining very low blanks and no evidence of cross contamination.
