Fast
Microwave extraction is completed in just few minutes. The Milestone ETHOS X can simultaneously process multiple samples in a matter of minutes. Microwave assisted extraction uses closed vessels to heat the extraction solvent above its atmospheric boiling point. The elevated temperature increases the solubility of the analytes of interest and lowers the viscosity of the solvent, allowing it to better penetrate the matrix.
Easy
An important feature of the ETHOS X is that it easily adapts to existing extraction chemistry. This is accomplished through the use of a unique, patented material, called Weflon. Without Weflon, extractions could only be performed with polar solvents (Acetone, Methanol, etc.) or mixtures of polar and non-polar solvents, because non-polar solvents are not heated by microwaves. Weflon eliminates this problem by acting as a coupling agent. Weflon stir bars are heated by microwaves and they subsequently transfer this heat to the non-polar solvent.
Effective and Consistent
Microwave extraction produces equal or higher analyte recoveries than older methods. Thanks to a combination of higher extraction temperatures, closed vessels, magnetic stirring, and precisely controllable temperature conditions, users of microwave extraction can expect a better quality of the results. The homogeneity of the microwave field and the precision of the temperature control are key elements in
microwave extraction.
Economical
Lower solvent usage reduces the costs of solvent purchase and disposal. Microwave extractions are carried out in closed, sealed vessels. The matrix is constantly bathed with hot solvent in a self-promoting reflux action with no loss of volatile analytes or solvent. The use of closed vessels, with the speed and efficiency of microwave heating, allows extractions to be performed with significantly less solvent, without sacrificing accuracy or precision. The simplicity of the microwave technique reduces the attended labor time and increases overall productivity.
Temperature control with easyTEMP
The system is equipped with a contactless sensor,
the easyTEMP, that controls the temperature inside all
vessels across the entire extraction process, providing
higher safety and reproducibility. The use of a noninvasive
sensor, in combination with the vessels design,
simplify the user's operation while delivering accurate
temperature control. The temperature sensor provides
a continue feedback to the easyCONTROL software,
which consequently regulates the power emission, to
follow the set temperature profile.
EasyCONTROL Operating Software
The ETHOS X is controlled via a compact terminal with an easy-to-read, bright, full-color, touchscreen display. The terminal runs user-friendly, icon-driven, multi-language software to provide easy control of the microwave run.
Several applications, including all US EPA and ASTM methods available, are preloaded in the ETHOS X terminal. The software automatically regulates the microwave power according to the number of samples or weights being extracted.
