Benefit

Safety and control at the core

Microwave Digestion

Safety engineered into every detail

Microwave closed-vessel digestion operates at elevated temperatures and pressures with concentrated acids, so the system must ensure maximum protection unader all conditions

ETHOS is designed with safety as a priority: its rugged stainless-steel construction guarantees durability, while the unique pressure-responsive door, mounted on loaded springs, provides the highest level of protection.

Even in the unlikely event of an overpressure release from a vessel, the stainless-steel door fully contains the pressure, while the exhaust system safely directs acid fumes to the laboratory ventilation. The automatic door-locking mechanism prevents opening until a user-defi ned safe temperature is reached, and the integrated SafeVIEW camera provides continuous real-time monitoring of the cavity.

Accurate, safe, reproducible

Temperature control is critical in microwave digestion, as it directly impacts both process quality and safety. 

ETHOS is equipped with easyTEMP, a contactless direct temperature sensor that combines the accuracy of an in-situ probe, measuring the actual temperature of the sample/solution, with the flexibility of infrared monitoring across all vessels.

This dual advantage ensures continuous control and perfectly uniform digestion conditions, delivering reproducible results for every sample while avoiding the need for reprocessing.

Options and upgrades

One platform, multiple applications

Microwave Digestion

Versatility at its best

ETHOS is more than a digestion system: it is a microwave labstation designed to support laboratories across many different sectors. With the appropriate selection of rotors and accessories, ETHOS can address diverse and demanding sample preparation processes, ranging from the analysis of organic pollutants, PFAS, microplastics, and other environmental contaminants, to the determination of fat, FAMEs, and amino acids in food and feed, as well as MOAH & MOSH analysis.

Its scope extends further to advanced materials and geological studies, where hightemperature fusions and fire assays are required, and even to synthetic chemistry workflows.

Phạm vi ứng dụng còn mở rộng đến vật liệu tiên tiến và nghiên cứu địa chất, nơi cần thực hiện các quy trình nung chảy ở nhiệt độ cao và thử lửa, thậm chí cả các quy trình hóa học tổng hợp.
