Application Digestion System
The MPS 320 is a reliable and easy-to-operate microwave digestion system for PerkinElmers AA, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS instruments that accommodates a wide range of sample matrices and applications. It provides the choice of closed-vessel digestion, a requirement for working with volatile elements, or unique, easy-to-use and high-throughput auto-venting vessels, which allow digestion to continue when preset pressure is reached. And you can also select from four different rotor configurations depending on your needs. All of this, plus state-of-the-art temperature/pressure control and a variety of unique safety features.
Exceptional Safety and AutomationThe MPS MR-50/16 320 incorporates multi-layered protection, automatic shut-off, vessel burst disks, and leak detection for unmatched user safety. The fully automatic operation streamlines sample digestion processes, reducing manual intervention and minimizing the risk of accidents. This system is meticulously engineered to ensure that even high-pressure and high-temperature reactions are managed safely and efficiently in busy laboratory settings.
Versatile Sample Throughput and UniformityFeaturing a rotating base for consistent microwave distribution and the capacity to process up to 32 samples per run with dual rack configuration, the system ensures rapid and uniform digestion. Laboratory technicians and researchers can rely on its adaptable vessel setup-16 x 50 mL or 32 x 50 mL-for diverse analytical needs. Efficient post-run cooling accelerates turnaround, maximizing laboratory productivity.
Advanced Control and ComplianceThe color touchscreen control panel supports multilingual operation, providing ease of use for diverse laboratory teams. Users can store up to 200 methods and connect via USB or Ethernet for streamlined data transfer and remote control. The included PC software facilitates advanced system configuration and data management. Compliance with ISO, CE, and GLP requirements ensures traceability and trust in analytical results.
