Future Speed

Digest samples in minutes.

BLADE was designed with speed in mind. In a high throughput lab, time is money. CEM combined advanced vortexing and Single Mode Cavity™ (SMC) technology to provide the highest watt-density and achieve clear digestions in a fraction of the time of traditional microwave digestion systems. If you have a few minutes, we have your samples.

Future Simplicity

Prepare vessels in seconds.

Experience the easiest to use microwave digestion system ever built. Simply add your sample and acid to the BLADE vessel and snap on a cap. Load your vessel into the autosampler and the BLADE will then process your samples automatically, including cool down. No vessel assembly and an easy to clean high purity quartz vessel make this the clear choice for modern laboratories digestion needs.

Future Flexibility

Sample prep that works with your workflow.

Improve your lab’s workflow with barcode scanning and follow your sample from balance to analysis. BLADE is the only microwave digestion system that automatically loads and unloads vessels from the cavity and provides CFR compliant documentation for every sample. The continuous-sequential automation means uninterrupted sample processing and more instrument uptime.

Future Performance

Digest any sample with ease.

From routine to extreme, the BLADE can digest it all with ease. Mix and match samples and acids, including HNO3, HCl, and HF, in one batch using available methods. Even watch your digestion in real-time with the high definition built in camera.

Testimonial

"This week, we solved a digestion problem that has plagued us for years, which we would not have been able to do without the BLADE's higher temperature and pressure capabilities. There was a good bit of excitement in the lab when we finally got a repeatable clear digest without a sulfuric acid char step."
