REDEFINING SAMPLE PREPARATION

Introducing the new Milestone microwave labstations

Milestone, a global leader in microwave sample preparation, is proud to announce the launch of the ETHOS Microwave Labstation and the ultraWAVE 2 eco.

With ETHOS, Milestone introduces the latest and most advanced evolution of microwave rotor-base digestion technology. Designed to meet the highest standards in laboratory safety, reproducibility, and efficiency, ETHOS goes beyond digestion to become a true microwave labstation, supporting solvent extraction, evaporation, concentration, high-temperature processes, and more. ETHOS features rugged stainless-steel construction, pressure-responsive doors, automatic locking, and SafeVIEW camera monitoring. Its high-purity PTFE vessels and reinforced PEEK components, combined with Milestone’s exclusive vent-and-reseal rotor technology, ensure maximum safety and chemical compatibility. With MAIA, Milestone’s AI assistant, users receive instant guidance on methods, maintenance, troubleshooting, and consumable handling, via chat or voice commands. Sustainable by Design ETHOS minimizes instrument redundancy, energy use, and consumables, with the Green Prep MW Score providing measurable sustainability insights. ETHOS represents the ultimate combination of performance, safety, versatility, and sustainability, empowering laboratories to advance elemental analysis workflows with confidence.

ultraWAVE 2 eco is a new Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) microwave digestion system that brings the core advantages of SRC technology to routine and regulated laboratories. Building on the success of Milestone’s flagship ultraWAVE series, the ultraWAVE 2 eco redefines digestion efficiency and sustainability. By digesting all samples together in one PTFE-lined stainless-steel chamber under uniform temperature and pressure, the system ensures complete, reproducible digestions across all matrices, from food and environmental samples to pharma, polymers, and more.
“With the ultraWAVE 2 eco we wanted to make SRC performance accessible to every laboratory”.
By minimizing resource use and enabling sustainable lab practices, the ultraWAVE 2 Eco exemplifies Milestone’s commitment to Green Digestion. Laboratories can also access and optimize their sustainability using the integrated Green Prep MW Score tool. The ultraWAVE 2 eco: Sustainable by design, proven by performance.

The ETHOS LEAN, now in its 2nd series, represents this expertise: a compact, affordable labstation delivering full digestion capabilities without compromise. Beyond digestion, ETHOS LEAN supports solvent extraction for chromatography, solvent-free extraction of natural products, and even microwave synthesis workflows, offering unmatched versatility in its class.

Selecting the right system is more than a purchase decision: it’s choosing a partner. With Milestone, you gain not only proven technology but also the knowledge and support to ensure long-term success.
