Dirats Laboratory streamlines complex material testing with reliable, high-precision results

Founded on a legacy of technical leadership, Dirats Laboratories has delivered precision elemental analysis to industries requiring the highest standards of quality, including aerospace, defense, and electronics. An early pioneer of ICP-OES and ICP-MS techniques, Dirats specializes in the digestion and analysis of challenging materials such as superalloys, carbon fiber, mining ores, and ceramics. They emphasize full-element analysis across all materials, with a commitment to innovation, safety, and environmental responsibility.

Dirats needed to deliver ultra-precise elemental data on complex materials like superalloys and ceramics. Traditional digestion methods were slow, inconsistent, and hazardous. To maintain speed, safety, and accuracy, they sought a more robust, repeatable solution without increasing acid use or operator risk.

Sample preparation once limited by fusion methods and openvessel systems is now streamlined with ultraWAVE technology.

• Universal matrix digestion: ceramics, metals, composites.
• Lower acid volumes improve safety and reduce waste.
• Lightweight vessels improve technician effi ciency.
• Faster programs reduce sample turnaround by nearly 50%.

With ultraWAVE, they’re able to process more complex materials with fewer reruns, fewer safety concerns, and faster delivery of critical results.
To complement their digestion workfl ow and ensure the highest data integrity, Dirats also relies on Milestone’s traceCLEAN system. The traceCLEAN provides fully automated acid steam cleaning of laboratory accessories, minimizing contamination risks that traditional soaking methods can introduce. By incorporating automated cleaning into their process, Dirats safeguards ultratrace accuracy while promoting a safer, more effi cient laboratory environment. Together with their digestion systems, traceCLEAN completes a fully integrated sample preparation solution.
