The Master Science Microwave Digestion Workstation prepares samples for ICP-OES, ICP-MS and AAS by closed-vessel acid digestion. Two inverter-controlled magnetrons deliver up to 2000 W of continuous, non-pulsed microwave power, giving an even field in the cavity and consistent digestion from vessel to vessel.
Up to 40 vessels can run in one batch. Every vessel is watched by a mid-infrared sensor from below, and microwave output stops with an alarm if any vessel shows an abnormal temperature.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This System Helps
How the Master Science Microwave Digestion Workstation addresses digestion problems:
- Slow hotplate digestion: closed-vessel microwave heating cuts hours to minutes.
- Incomplete digestion of some vessels: uniform field and per-vessel temperature control.
- Vessel over-pressure risk: passive pressure release.
- Waiting for vessels to cool: automatic exhaust cools in under 15 minutes.
