Milestone - Microwave Systems & Mercury Analysis

Effective microwave digestion is the first and fundamental step for successful sample preparation for ICP-MS analysis as well as AA/ICP-OES.

Microwave-assisted extraction uses closed vessels to heat the extraction solvent above its atmospheric boiling point. Working at elevated temperature increases the solubility of the analyte of interest and decreases the solvent viscosity, leading to more efficient sample preparation and lower extraction times.

Direct mercury analysis requires no sample preparation and delivers results in as little as 6 minutes per sample making it significantly faster than traditional wet chemistry.

Microwave technology is changing the way to design and optimise synthetic protocols as well as their scaling up to multi-gram production.

Milestone Clean Chemistry Line offers innovative and complete portfolio of systems and accessories for analytical blank control and reduction in ultra-trace elemental analysis.

Milestone’s PYRO Microwave Muffle Furnace Ashing System offers an excellent alternative to conventional muffle furnace techniques.
