ultraWAVE

ultraWAVE has already revolutionized and enhanced the way analytical chemists think to sample preparation for trace metal analysis in hundreds of laboratories all over the world. ultraWAVE is based on the SRC (Single Reaction Chamber technology), invented by Milestone several years ago ( EP0728038B1 ). SRC technology achieves extraordinary performance capabilities combining microwave heating with a high-pressure reactor which…

Great performance on the digestion of samples.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Digestion of a wide variety of samples

Excellent digestion system that can break down the most difficult matrix. The performance is unmatched by other microwave digestion systems around. Easy to use. The cost of ownership is high but worth the cost for the performance.

Review Date: 7 Dec 2022 | Milestone

State-of-the-art machine. the machine delivers excellent quality and quantity work.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Digestion of different materials using multi acids choices of different concentration including Hf,

Taking into account that this kind of work requires a skilled and trained person, The machine is easy and safe to use, The out come of digestion achieved excellent recovery for analytes that includes the digestion of Zircones and REE elements in different matrixes. the Use of Hf and HCl is required add to that the use of HNO3. all done at elevated Temperatures. The blank value is also excellent and no source of contamination of cross of contamination was seen.

Best microwave available on the market! The SRC technology is the future

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Microwave assisted acid digestion of biostimulants, fertilizers, sludges and waste waters

The ultraWAVE allowed me to digest at the same time a completely different sample matrix, weights, and mix of acids inside each sample (hydrofluoric acid included). With the single reaction chamber technology you have complete control of temperature and pressure and all the sample reach the same target temperature and much more important you can reach an extremely high temperature 270°C maintaining a relatively low pressure <150 bar. My productivity raised up by 4 to 5 times saving time, acid quantity (ultraWAVE useless compared to another microwave), and improving the quality of my data, less dilution, less contamination. Very easy to use and fully supported.

Microwave Digestion System. Milestone’s unique Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology overcomes the limitations of traditional microwave sample preparation. At the heart of the system is a large sample chamber that is pre-pressurized with inert gas and heated with microwave energy. With higher performance, higher sample throughput, improved workflow, lower labor and consumables costs when compared to conventional closed vessel systems, the ultraWAVE is a true game changer in microwave acid digestion.

Features & Benefits:

  • High performance. The highest temperatures & pressure capabilities and the fastest cooling time
  • Increased throughput. Double throughput of traditional microwave acid digestion instruments
  • No batching required. Simultaneous digestion of any sample type combination
  • Ease of use. Cleaning of digestion vials is not necessary. No vessel assembly/disassembly
  • Expertise and Support. 30-years experience at your lab with the Milestone Connect
  • Compliance. USP 232/233 Chapters, ICH Q3D Guidelines and FDA regulation 21 CFR part 11

Applications:

Academia, Clinical, Environment, Food, Inorganics, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic, Polymers.
