Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) microwave digestion allows for simultaneous digestion of up to 15 different sample types at temperatures as high as 300°C, greatly streamlining the sample preparation process.

The Milestone UltraWAVE is a bench-top instrument that operates at very high pressures and temperatures, capable of processing large, dissimilar and difficult samples quickly, easily-all without batching. The data shown in this technical note demonstrates that the digestion of samples in the UltraWAVE results in uniformly high analytical data quality, making it the ideal solution for trace metals detection in food.

Patented UltraWAVE SRC technology goes beyond traditional digestion, offering greater capabilities for the most difficult sample types. High-performance stainless steel construction allows for higher pressures and temperatures, while disposable vessels eliminate the need to assemble, disassemble or clean between processing. Just as important, dissimilar samples can be processed simultaneously, saving time and money.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is in the process of developing new USP chapters and for the measurement of inorganic contaminants in pharmaceutical samples. While samples can be dissolved in aqueous or organic solvents, the large majority will require digestion, and closed vessel microwave digestion is stipulated by USP. Single reaction chamber (SRC) microwave digestion is a new type of closed vessel digestion that was developed by Milestone and offers many advantages over closed vessel digestion-particularly for pharmaceutical sample types.
