Description

Milestone's ETHOS One system is used to prepare samples for AAS, ICP and ICP-MS analyses in a closed system. The microwave oven is equipped with a rotor that can accommodate 12 Teflon bombs (including one with a temperature and pressure measurement sensor). The ETHOS One is equipped with SafeVIEW, incorporating a digital camera linked to a 5.6" high-resolution screen, from which the entire instrument can also be controlled. SafeVIEW allows visual monitoring of the digestion process. In addition, an automatic door closing system does not allow the user to open the door during microwave operation until the samples have cooled to the set temperature. This is to avoid exposing the user to vessels under high pressure. The unit is equipped with two 1800 W magnetrons (2 x 900 W). The maximum weight of the sample is 0.3 g. The ETHOS One microwave oven is used for the preparation of environmental, food and pharmaceutical matrix samples. The system is additionally equipped with the possibility of conducting the extraction process using microwave radiation.
