Overcome sample prep pain points in mining and geochemical applications

15 Jul 2024

Although rotor-based systems still have a place in the mining and geochemical industries, for samples that are easier to digest, single reaction chamber (SRC) technology is capable of successfully digesting a wide range of sample types. Milestone explores the benefits of SRC technology, for instance when handling complex acid mixtures or samples that require the highest possible temperatures. Discover how SRC technology can take on a variety of matrices simultaneously while also using lower volumes of reagent, proving to be less expensive, less time-consuming, and ultimately safer when compared with rotor-based microwaves for use in the mining and geochemical industries.

ultraWAVE SRC (Single Reaction Chamber) Microwave Digestion System

Milestone

ultraWAVE has already revolutionized and enhanced the way analytical chemists think to sample preparation for trace metal analysis in hundreds of laboratories all over the world. ultraWAVE is based on the SRC (Single Reaction Chamber technology), invented by Milestone several years ago ( EP0728038B1 ). SRC technology achieves extraordinary performance capabilities combining microwave heating with a high-pressure reactor which acts simultaneously as microwave cavity and vessel.
