Full control and reliable operations

Accurate and safe temperature control is essential to ensure reliable extraction results. The ETHOS X LEAN uses Milestone’s easyTEMP technology, an advanced contactless sensor that directly monitors the real temperature of the sample in each vessel. This enables uniform heating, safe operation, and consistent, reproducible results across different matrices.

User-Friendly Microwave Extraction Platforms

Faster, Smarter Solvent Extraction Workflows

Sample preparation remains one of the most labor-intensive and variable stages of chromatographic analysis. Despite significant advances in analytical instrumentation, many laboratories continue to rely on conventional extraction techniques that have changed little over the last century.
Microwave-assisted extraction offers a modern alternative by combining closed-vessel technology with controlled microwave heating. This approach allows solvents to reach temperatures beyond their normal boiling point, improving analyte dissolution and enhancing mass transfer from the sample matrix. As a result, laboratories can achieve more efficient extractions, reduce solvent consumption, and dramatically shorten preparation times.
Compared to traditional extraction methods, microwave extraction delivers high reproducibility, excellent recovery rates, and greater analytical consistency while simplifying laboratory workflows.
Common applications include the extraction of organic contaminants from environmental samples, fat determination in food products, recovery of contaminants from food matrices, and the extraction of natural products.

Flexibility and performance that make the difference

The ETHOS X LEAN embraces Milestone’s philosophy of a “microwave labstation”. The ETHOS X LEAN platform is capable of several extraction applications: extraction of pollutants from environmental and food samples can be done in just few minutes, consuming less solvent than other technologies, thereby improving productivity while decreasing costs, all in full accordance with the US EPA 3546. Additional accessories are available to further expand the ETHOS X LEAN capabilities: a dedicated configuration for fat determination in food samples which greatly improves turn-around-time, specific rotors to match the requirements of several extraction processes for GC and HPLC analysis, and an easy to use filtration system that improves the workflow and the productivity. Some applications, between the others: THC and CBD from Cannabis, Poliphenols in plants, PAH in asphalt, EOM in rocks, extractables from pulp and wood.
