What is a microwave digester used for?
A microwave digester is a laboratory sample preparation instrument used for rapid digestion and decomposition of samples under high temperature and high pressure conditions. It is widely applied in food testing, environmental analysis, quality inspection, disease control, research institutes and other laboratories.
What are the advantages of microwave digestion compared with traditional digestion methods?
Microwave digestion provides faster sample preparation, better digestion efficiency, lower reagent consumption, reduced contamination risk and improved repeatability. It can complete sample decomposition more quickly while maintaining accurate analytical results.
What temperature and pressure can this microwave digester achieve?
The microwave digester can reach a maximum temperature of 300℃ and withstand pressure up to 1500 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure acid digestion applications.
How many samples can be processed at one time?
Different configurations are available according to laboratory requirements. The system can process 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 or 24 samples per batch, providing solutions from small-scale experiments to high-throughput sample preparation.
What material is used for the digestion tank?
The inner digestion tank is made of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which provides excellent chemical resistance and is suitable for various acid digestion applications.
Is the microwave digestion system safe during high-pressure operation?
Yes. The system is equipped with pressure protection functions and automatic overpressure release to improve operational safety during high-temperature and high-pressure digestion processes.
How does the temperature control system work?
The instrument uses a non-contact infrared temperature control system to monitor the digestion temperature in real time. The intelligent software automatically controls the temperature program and displays temperature curves during operation.
Why does the digestion tank rotate during operation?
The 360° continuous rotation design ensures that each sample receives a uniform microwave environment, improving digestion consistency and experimental repeatability.
What types of samples can be digested using this instrument?
The microwave digester is suitable for various samples, including food products, environmental samples, soil, water samples, biological materials, industrial materials and other samples requiring acid digestion or solvent extraction.
