Description
Our laboratory is equipped with one of the latest sample digestion systems. The Multiwave can digest samples of all kinds - e.g. food, environmental, pharmaceutical and, of course, geological samples. The samples can be digested at up to 300°C and 200 bar in Teflon or quartz glass vessels at very low blank values. The vessel size is variable and can be adapted to the desired sample quantity.
