Major Products/Services
CEM offers two platforms, a variety of vessels, and options for microwave digestion to ensure fast, complete, and reproducible digestions for a wide range of sample types. Run up to 40 samples simultaneously with the MARS 6 with One Touch(tm) Technology, a series of smart features that help automate the digestion process. MARS 6 automatically identifies and counts vessels, determines all of the parameters, adjust power output, and performs the digestion for all major sample types. Discover(r) SP-D digests most samples in 10 min or less including cooldown. Discover SP-D offers individual parameter programming for each sample and an optional Autosampler.

Scientists Use Water and Light to Uncover Honey Adulteration
July 30th 2025In a 2025 study, Indian researchers demonstrated that combining near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with aquaphotomics enables rapid, non-destructive detection of adulterants in honey by analyzing changes in water’s spectral behavior. Using chemometric models, they accurately identified and quantified six common adulterants, offering a powerful tool for food authenticity and quality control.
Scientists Use AI and Spectroscopy to Detect Fake Honey in Bangladesh
July 29th 2025Researchers in Bangladesh have developed a rapid, non-destructive method to detect honey adulteration using UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy paired with machine learning. Their findings could protect consumers and support food quality enforcement.
