Safety UP

The ETHOS UP fully embodies Milestone’s philosophy in microwave sample preparation. Specifically designed for closed vessel microwave acid digestion, it offers productivity, safety, ease of use, connectivity, expertise and application flexibility.
Featuring a comprehensive choice of accessories, ETHOS UP microwave digestion system encompasses Milestone’s visionary concept of “Total Microwave Sample Preparation” offering a complete first-class solution for microwave solvent extraction, high-temperature fusion, vacuum evaporation and even organic and inorganic synthesis or protein hydrolysis.
Microwave digestion oven ETHOS UP covers the whole range of samples from routine to high-end applications including US EPA method 3052 for sediments, sludges and soils and US EPA method 3015 as microwave digester of aqueous samples and extracts.

THE LARGEST STAINLESS-STEEL MICROWAVE CAVITY

The microwave cavity has a volume of over 70 liters, the largest currently available. Therefore, digestion rotors with more sample places can be accommodated, incresing both productivity and sample throughput. Secondly, it improves the inherently safety because a larger cavity contains gases escaping from vessels in a more efficient way, in case of a sudden over pressurization.

PRESSURE-RESPONSIVE DOOR FOR MAX SAFETY

For additional safety, the ETHOS UP features a full stainless steel door with an innovative opening and self-resealing mechanism. Should there be a sudden over pressurization of the cavity, the door slightly opens for rapid and safe pressure release and the microwave power is instantaneously cut off. Immediately afterwards, the door is pulled back, resealing the microwave cavity.

THE MOST POWERFUL MICROWAVE DIGESTER

The ETHOS UP is equipped with two 950 Watt magnetrons for a total of 1900 Watt. The system additionally employs a rotating diffuser that evenly distributes the microwaves throughout the cavity. High power coupled with this diffuser enable very fast heating of high throughput rotors and the complete digestion of the most difficult samples.

LIVE MONITORING WITH MILESTONE SafeVIEW

The ETHOS UP integrates the Milestone safeVIEW, a high definition digital camera interfaced with the instrument terminal. It allows the chemist to monitor the progress of the digestion whilst being fully protected by the instrument's all-stainless steel door. A video of the entire run is shown in real time.

SENSORS

for unparalleled digestion control

In a digestion process, the temperature controls the sample decomposition and directly affects digestion quality. Milestone pioneered the use of infrared sensors combined with an in-situ temperature sensor. Today, Milestone innovates again by combining all the benefits of in-situ and infrared sensors into the Milestone easyTEMP, a direct contactless temperature sensor.

Temperature control with easyTEMP

The easyTEMP contactless sensor directly controls the temperature of all samples and solutions, providing accurate temperature feedback to ensure complete digestion in all vessels with superior safety. This technology combines the fast and accurate reading of an in-situ temperature sensor with the flexibility of an infrared sensor.
The ETHOS UP software provides digestion history traceability and temperature measurement for every sample. Temperature diagrams and profiles are displayed in real-time, and can be saved on the ETHOS UP terminal.
In combination with our 'vent-and-reseal' vessel technology, these sensors ensure complete and safe digestions without any loss of volatile compounds.

What our Clients say

  • High temperature capabilities allow reducing to 50% the time spent with other microwave systems.

    Indian Tobacco Company

  • We need to reach very high temperatures because most of our samples have high organic content. ETHOS UP could help us achiving complete digestions.

    NOW Food, USA

    Read more
  • The primary reason for choosing ETHOS UP with SK-15 rotor is the possibility of using the ‘quartz inserts’ inside the rotor to lower dilution factor, which got reduced more than 10x.
