Markets Served
CEM instrumentation is used by chemists, scientists, and technicians in private industry, as well as leading universities, analytical laboratories, and research facilities around the world. We support numerous markets including the pharmaceutical, chemical, environmental, applied materials, food, and petroleum industries, among others.
Major Products/Services
CEM offers two platforms, a variety of vessels, and options for microwave sample preparation to ensure fast, complete, reproducible digestions for a wide range of sample types. Run up to 40 samples simultaneously with the MARS™ 6 with One Touch™ Technology, a series of smart features that help automate the digestion process. MARS 6 automatically identifies and counts vessels, determines all of the parameters, adjusts power output, and performs the digestion for all major sample types. Discover SP-D digests most samples in 10 minutes or less including cool down. SP-D offers individual parameter programming for each sample and an optional autosampler.
Facility
CEM's global headquarters, research laboratories, and manufacturing facilities are located in Matthews, North Carolina. The company has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Italy, France, and Japan, as well as more than 50 distributors worldwide.

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
How do ions and water interact at the atomic level in nanochannels grafted with polymer brushes using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations? Siddhartha Das of the University of Maryland and his team are working on answering this question.
Mammograms can find breast microcalcifications but can’t tell whether they are likely benign or malignant.
