Microwave Extraction System
MARS 6 Extraction
Overview
The MARS 6™ brings an intelligent design and remarkable ease of use to extractions. With an industry-leading 2000 watts of installed power, it is the perfect tool for preparing samples for US EPA 3546, polymers, and more. The MARS 6 can easily extract up to 40 samples in a single batch using up to 85% less solvent than traditional methods. The MARS 6 provides the highest throughput and lowest cost per test of any extraction method used today.The MARS 6 PFAS Extraction system is specifically designed with PFAS extraction in mind. From the 40 position turntable, utilizing PFAS-free centrifuge tubes in 2 different sizes to the simple design and operation, PFAS determination has never been easier.
Features
- Fastest batch system available — 40 samples in 25 minutes
- Disposable inserts for easy cleaning
- One Touch Technology® methods make extraction easy
- Use the same system for extraction or digestion
- Capable of PFAS extraction
The Process
User-friendly software, scientist centered design
1. Select a MethodAfter the turntable is loaded with prepared sample vessels, simply select the proper method, and hit “Start”.
2. Matrix is Extracted (or Digested)
During the run, the MARS 6 will follow the method according to the selected parameters, including initializing, ramping, holding, cooling, etc. The MARS 6 applies microwaves to extract, or digest, the sample. The turntable will rotate to allow the IR sensor to monitor the temperature of each sample.
3. Sample is Cooled
For user safety, when the run is complete, the MARS 6 will allow the vessels to cool in-unit. After cooling, the sample is ready for further analysis.
High Throughput Capabilities
Vessels designed with you in mind.
The MARS 6 can process up to 40 samples simultaneously, yielding the highest throughput of any system on the market. The simple three-piece vessel assembles in seconds. Disposable glass inserts allow you to prepare a second batch of samples while another is being processed, reducing total extraction time.
PFAS Extraction
Better PFAS extraction at your fingertips.
In the MARS PFAS System, samples are heated in a PFAS-free closed vessel, ensuring the low detection limits required for analysis are achieved. This PFAS-free environment is available using a 40 position high throughput turntable with either 50 mL or 15 mL centrifuge tubes to maximize sample throughput.
Disposable Glass Inserts
Never wash vessels again.
Our MARSXpress Plus vessels allow for the use of disposable glass inserts that eliminate the need to wash vessels between sample runs, resulting in time savings. Furthermore, the glass insert protects the Teflon vessel from highly contaminated samples, eliminating the risk of carryover.
Reduced Solvent Consumption
Accelerated extraction process using less solvent.
The MARS 6 heats samples in a sealed vessel, allowing the use of solvents not accessible with traditional methods. By heating the solvent above its boiling point, a higher efficiency extraction is achieved with less solvent volume required.When using the high through-put turntables for the centrifuge tubes, the MARS 6 Extraction system is capable accurate heating as low as 60 ⁰C, essential for low temperature extractions such as PFAS analysis.
