Setting new standards in vessel inside vessel technology We introduce the best of vessel-inside-vessel solutions to ensure lower analytical blank during microwave digestion in modern laboratory. This configuration reduces the amount of acid required for digestion to near stoichiometric quantities which provides lower dilution factor to increase detection limit Increase detection limit with lower dilution factor Microwave digestion techniques typically require a...

The UltraCLAVE performs beyond the current limitations of traditional microwave sample preparation. Chemists can digest large sample masses, large batches of mixed sample types, and even the toughest sample matrices requiring sustained high temperatures. Cross-contamination does not occur and extremely high throughput can be achieved. Finally, reduced acid usage, consumables, and need for labor provide long-term cost savings. The UltraCLAVE is based...

Compact Microwave Digestion 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. YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER IN SAMPLE PREPARATION FOR METALS ANALYSIS The ETHOS™ LEAN was specifically designed to provide high-quality closed-vessel acid digestion for labs with limited throughput needs....

Meet the Milestone PYRO and PYRO SA The PYRO systems’ unique design eliminates equipment corrosion and acid fume pollution, greatly reducing analyst exposure to acid fumes. The PYRO dramatically reduces ashing times: it is able to ramp from room temperature to 800 degrees in less than 30 minutes. The PYRO SA is identical to the PYRO, but it is equipped with an additional...

Think Pure.  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. The subCLEAN is therefore suitable for the purification of HF, as well as for HNO3 and HCl. SUB-BOILING TECHNOLOGY The chemical reagents used during the analysis are an important source of the analytical blank. Sub-boiling distillation has been demonstrated to be...

Think Pure.  Reagent contaminations increase the background concentration of the analytes present in a sample. Because of this, laboratories purchase expensive high-purity acids for trace metal (element) analyses.  With small samples sizes it is critical to keep blank levels low for good reproducibility.  There is an alternative to the purchase of expensive high purity acids: Milestone has developed the DuoPUR and...

Advanced Microwave Digestion System ETHOS™ EASY is the most advanced yet easy-to-use microwave digestion platform we have ever manufactured. It offers a perfect integration between microwave hardware, user interface, digestion sensors, and pressure vessels. How EASY can microwave sample preparation become? The range of sample types requesting microwave digester and analysis for trace metals has grown significantly in recent years. At the...

Microwave Green Extraction of Natural Products Available in two different and interchangeable configurations, for fragrances and for flavors, the ETHOS™ X takes advantage of the unique microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity technique for high-quality essential oils extraction. Solvent-free approach to high quality extraction The analytical procedure for flavors and fragrances extraction from plants or spices comprises two steps: extraction by steam distillation or...

Think Blank.  Cleaning various items used in ultra-trace analysis work is a critically important laboratory routine. Milestone has developed the traceCLEAN, a fully automated, selfcontained, acid steam cleaning system for trace metal analysis accessories. Place the items to be cleaned in the traceCLEAN system, program the time and temperature required, then press “Start”. Freshly distilled acid vapors will continuously reflux within the...

Meet the new Milestone Ethos UP, the world’s most intelligent microwave digestion system. When it comes to rotor-based microwave sample prep, nothing comes close to the new Milestone Ethos UP.  With over 300 pre-set digestion methods built right in, our exclusive EasyControl software is the smart approach to microwave digestion.  Plus, new Milestone Connect offers remote system control, 24/7 technical support and direct access to a...
