Milestone Inc.

Company Description

Laboratories performing trace metals analysis today are challenged to process more samples at lower detection levels with fewer resources. Often, the limitations of existing sample preparation approaches for metals analysis such as large consumption of acids, safety and handling problems, inconsistent recoveries, and limited throughput create a "bottleneck" in productivity. To help break these bottlenecks, Milestone offers a complete suite of microwave sample prep and clean chemistry productivity tools, backed by over 30 years of industry experience and an unmatched portfolio of over 50 patents. As a world leader in microwave technology, Milestone is known for providing safe, reliable, and flexible platforms that enhance the productivity of metals testing labs. The key to this technological leadership lies in bringing together individuals from diverse scientific and engineering disciplines to solve real world problems with innovative microwave instrumentation.

Over 20,000 customers worldwide look to Milestone to improve their metals digestions, organic extractions, mercury analysis, and synthetic chemistry processes. We partner with our customers to meet their challenges now and well into the future.
