Milestone's ETHOS X microwave enhanced extraction system can reduced the extraction time to 15 minutes. It also delivers a product with higher purity compared to traditional extraction methods that are based on the use of organic solvents

Total fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis for several testing and food processor labs, as it is part of labelling process and QC testing. Nowadays, the process still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies. In the ETHOS X hydrolysis and extraction are done in a single step and in less time, ensuring higher productivity and better workflow. The ETHOS X method for total fat determination is applicable to any matrix; enables to process 45 sample a day, ensure lower cost per sample, offers complete fat determination and it is safe and compact.

This online training conference provided a platform to meet companies and researchers interested in the application of circular economy for the valorization of agro-food wastes

The analysis of organic pollutants and metals in environmental matrices, such as soils and sediments, often includes the filtration step, either after a solvent extraction process or a leaching type acid digestion. The conventional approach to filtration involves old-style apparatus that reduce the lab workflow and occupies valued space in the fume hood. The Simultaneous Filtration System (SFS-24) by Milestone overcome these limitations, improving the lab’s productivity and reducing the fume hood space requirement.

Several governments require their analysis in environmental samples. Microwave assisted solvent extraction is a well-established sample preparation technique applied in several official methods.

Cr VI is widely used in manufacturing of electronics thanks to its anticorrosive proprieties, although it is highly toxic and carcinogenic. Discover the new method for Cr VI determination in full compliance with IEC 62321-7-2: 2017.

Marine Palynology and Palaeoceanography research group uses the newest microwave extraction system to study primeval seabed sediment.

As the cannabis industry matures, terpene isolation from cannabis plant material has become a primary issue. Throughout this article, we discuss the capabilities of microwave-assisted extraction and how the cannabis industry can utilize it.

SYNLAB’s Laboratory performs extractions using different techniques, such as sonication, soxhlet and automated soxhlet systems. They were impressed with the efficiency of the new Milestone ETHOS X with the fastEX-24 rotor over other technologies already available in their laboratory.
