Milestone Products & Reviews

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…

The DMA-80 mercury determination system can analyze any matrix (solid, liquid or gas) without any pre-treatment or chemical additions in as few as 6 minutes in full compliance with EPA method 7473. With thousands of units installed, Milestone defines the benchmark for direct mercury determination a wide range of industries: environmental, food energy, cement, cosmetics, agriculture, mining and petrochemical.

duoPUR and subPUR, sub-boiling distillation systems allow laboratories to make their own high purity acids at dramatically reduced costs. Offering an optimal purification method, this type of acid distillation uses contactless infrared lamps to vaporize the surface liquid at a temperature typically 20°C below the boiling point. The duoPUR allows the purification of the most common acids such as HNO3 and HCl.

The new ETHOS™ UP is simply the most advanced yet easy to use system for microwave sample preparation we have ever manufactured. It offers a perfect integration between microwave hardware, user interface, digestion sensors and pressure vessels.  Microwave digestion oven ETHOS UP covers the whole range of samples from routine to high-end applications including US EPA method 3052 for sediments, soils and US EPA method.

The process of fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies. The ETHOS X offers a new approach to gravimetric fat determination, moving toward a more modern, greener and more efficient approach to total fat, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and free fat determinations in food and feed matrices.

Microwave-assisted solvent extraction offers superior lab efficiency in the determination of organic pollutants with microwave green extraction technique. Typical applications include chlorinated pesticides, semi-volatile organics, PAHs, PCBs, chlorinated herbicides, phenols, organophosphorus pesticides, dioxins and furans. ETHOS™ X with the fastEX-24 rotor allows the simultaneous extraction of 24 samples in 40 minutes with m…

The ETHOS™ LEAN collects Milestone experience and embraces all these values into a compact and economical solutions for sample preparation, matching the requirements of laboratories that approach microwave digestion without the needs of high-volume labs.

The ETHOS EZ represents the state of the art in closed vessel microwave digestion. Unmatched build quality and technology has resulted in the safest, most versatile, and highest performing system available. Superior vessel design, combined with more precise temperature control and the most powerful software delivers better digestion results than any other closed vessel system - whatever the sample type. Ethos EZ Design T…

The Milestone synthWAVE is designed for safe, reliable and reproducible scale-up of microwave enhanced chemical reactions. The synthWAVE is capable of higher temperature and pressure than any other microwave reactors. Milestone synthWAVE features the unmatched Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) patented technology that ensures scale, reaction screening, highest temperature and pressure. It is able to handle single or multiple react…

PYRO perfectly suits several applications including ashing, sulfated ashing, loss on ignition (LOI), residue on ignition (ROI), fusion and generally all high-temperature reactions under controlled conditions. The advent of microwave ashing furnace for dry applications has represented a breakthrough in the process and quality control of samples like polymers, petroleum, food and feeds, pulp paper and pharmaceuticals.

Cleaning various items used in ultra-trace analysis work is a critically important laboratory routine. traceCLEAN assures best cleaning quality of your TFM, glass and quartz parts for ICP/ICP-MS accessories. Any trace metal contaminants stay within the reservoir and do not come in contact with the cleaned trace accessories. The cleaning process with the traceCLEAN takes about an hour, enhancing the overall lab workflow. 

ETHOS™ X microwave extraction line allows quick heating of the cannabis material for terpene isolation. Solvent-free extraction process takes only a few minutes and prevents any thermal degradation often noticed during use of conventional extraction methods. The fresh and characteristic taste of strain-specific cannabis is maintained, and high-quality terpenes are assured. The ETHOS X 2.0 is our latest generation of benchtop…

The Milestone subCLEAN is a compact and easy-to-use sub-boiling system, where all parts in contact with acids are made of high-purity fluoropolymers. Offering an optimal purification method for preparation of high purity reagents, our subCLEAN system is therefore suitable for HF, as well as for HNO3 and hydrochloric acid purification.

Sample preparation is a central part of elemental analysis and includes several manual and time-consuming steps. Reagent addition into digestion vials or vessels is a tedious and unpleasant process that requires a significant amount of time. The easyFILL Automated Dosing Station addresses these latter challenges using a single platform that ensures the automation of reagent addition and dilution, finally ensuring superior wor…

The new Milestone flexiWAVE overcomes the limitation of conventional microwave synthesis reactors, as it consists of a single microwave platform that, in combination with specific accessories, allows the chemists to perform classic glassware and high pressure synthesis, as well as solid-phase reactions.

The features of the new ultraWAVE 3 merge with those already intrinsic in the SRC technology so that labs will experience higher performance, greater productivity, and more streamlined workflow, providing them with improved competitiveness and a lower cost of ownership. Thanks to its superior digestion capabilities that result from its higher temperature and pressure capabilities, ultraWAVE 3 microwave system provides great…
