- Small Footprint
- Run Acid and Base Hydrolysis on One System
- Automate up to 48 Samples
The Process
Press “play” to begin the automated process.
1. Load AutosamplerPrepared 10 or 35 mL vessels containing samples, reagents, and stir bars can be loaded onto the 12- or 48-position autosampler, allowing for automated reaction handling and throughput
2. Select a Method
Select the desired method, program the number of samples, and press “Play”.
3. Microwave Energy is Applied
The reaction vessel is pressurized and microwave heating is applied directly to the vessel contents. This results in direct molecular activation and fast and efficient heating. Electromagnetic stirring allows for equal heat distribution and increased reaction homogeneity.
4. iWave Precise Temperature Control
iWave technology allows for accurate temperature monitoring of the vessel contents regardless of sample type or solvent volume.
5. Compressed Air Cooling
Upon method completion, compressed air cooling is applied, enabling rapid cooling for safe handling and preparation for analysis.
