Ethos EASY

The range of sample types requesting microwave digester and analysis for trace metals has grown significantly in recent years. At the same time, sample workloads have increased, and turnaround time reduced. In addition, the development of collision cell ICP-MS has widened its applicability to more complex sample types placing additional demands on microwave acid digestion: its lower detection limits and fast analysis time require lower blank contribution and higher throughput in sample preparation techniques. In response to these demands, Milestone has developed the new microwave digestion oven ETHOS EASY, specifically designed for closed vessel microwave acid digestion, with full control of all reaction parameters.

Microwave digestion system ETHOS EASY 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.

  • Highest throughput rotors
    Rotor-based digestion system for both routine and challenging applications
  • Simplified method development
    EasyCONTROL software minimizes method development, increases productivity and improves digestion efficiency
  • Superior safety features
    Stainless steel construction and patented vent-and-reseal technology ensures safety and productivity
  • Know-how and remote control
    Unique web based resource center that provides up-to-date information and extended instrument control

ultraWAVE

The ultraWAVE is based on the SRC (Single Reaction Chamber technology), invented by Milestone several years ago (Patents pending). SRC technology achieves extraordinary performance capabilities combining microwave heating with a high-pressure reactor which acts simultaneously as microwave cavity and vessel. The ultraWAVE chamber is sealed, pressurized, heated, cooled, vented, and opened via a dedicated touch-screen control terminal. Loading a rack of samples into the chamber is the only manual operation in an otherwise fully automated process of microwave-assisted sample preparation. The outer surfaces of the vessel remain at room temperature throughout the entire microwave heating cycle. As a result, the ultraWAVE is dramatically less labor intensive and easier to use compared to conventional microwave digestion systems.

Any combination of sample types (food, environmental, polymer, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, geological, chemical, and petrochemical) can be digested simultaneously; no need to batch samples into identical types. No method development is needed, as the same method can be used for nearly any sample. And for the first time, blanks and reference standards of any matrix can be digested alongside samples, enabling true in-run digestion quality control.

  • Improved workflow
    The ultraWAVE completely removes the handling related to the opening/closing of the vessels
  • 2X the thoughput
    15 samples are processed in 45 minutes start to finish
  • No batching required
    Any combination of sample types can be digested simultaneously; no need to batch samples
  • Lower operating costs
    Vessel cleaning is eliminated with disposable glass vials, and method development is virtually eliminated

ultraCLAVE

Featuring patented SRC technology ultraCLAVE enables processing of mixed matrices in the same run with different chemistries. ultraCLAVE uses vials and racks instead of vessels and rotors to remove the handling step in sample preparation setting new standards in microwave digestion. Eliminating this essential step ultraCLAVE completely changes the rules in microwave sample preparation enhancing overall efficiency in elemental analysis. Representing new generation of microwave reaction vessel with high pressure reactor ultraCLAVE is capable of running as many as 77 samples simultaneously at high temperature up to 300 °C and pressure up to 200 bar, thus enhancing lab efficiency.

SRC technology completely changes the rules of sample preparation. Instead of using a traditional digestion rotor, a rack and vials with loose-fitting caps are used, which greatly simplifies daily operation and reduces running costs. The ultraCLAVE racks are available in several configurations to accommodate varying sample throughput needs as well as large sample masses. Several racks are available and the selection of vials includes high-purity PTFE, quartz and disposable glass. The use of disposable glass vials eliminates the tedious cleaning step, improving lab workflow. Rack handling is as simple as hanging it in the system. Moreover, SRC technology allows for the use of a single method regardless of the sample type and amount, making it possible to digest different matrices together in the same run.

  • Automatic operations
    All the steps are automatically performed and controlled by the system operating software
  • One digestion method for all samples
    Any combination of sample types can be digested simultaneously, with no need to batch samples into identical types
  • Extremely high throughput
    Several standard racks are designed to hold 6 to 77 individual sample containers made of glass, quartz, or TFM
  • Long-term savings
    Reduced acid usage, consumables, and need for labor provide long-term cost savings
