speedwave XPERT Microwave Digestion System – Safe Digestion and Extraction

Introduction

The speedwave XPERT microwave digestion system is a professional instrument for sample preparation. It performs both acid digestion and solvent extraction. This device is designed for convenience, safety, and cost-efficiency. It is suitable for analytical laboratories that require reliable results.

Product Overview

This instrument is a top-loading microwave, which makes inserting and removing reaction vessels easy. The system uses innovative, non-contact sensor technologies to monitor temperature and pressure in real time, ensuring optimal process control. A key advantage of the speedwave XPERT microwave digestion system is the long service life of its digestion vessels, which significantly lowers operating costs. The unit can also be configured for extraction applications (speedwave XTRACT).

Key Features

• Low Operating Costs: High-longevity vessels are included in the warranty, reducing replacement expenses.
• SafePrep Technology: Ensures maximum safety with real-time, non-contact optical monitoring of temperature and pressure.
• Simple Operation: The top-loading design eliminates heavy rotor lifting, and vessels have only three easy-to-handle parts.
• Advanced Sensors: DIRC (Direct Infrared Control) and OPC (Optical Pressure Control) technology monitors each sample individually.
• Corrosion Protection: A gas collection system prevents acid vapors from damaging internal components.
• Dual Functionality: Capable of performing both digestion (XPERT) and solvent extraction (XTRACT).

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Food & Feed: Digestion of beverages, milk products, cereals, oils, and animal feed.

FAQ

1. What is the speedwave XPERT microwave digestion system used for?

It is used to prepare samples for elemental analysis. It uses acid and microwave energy to dissolve solid and liquid samples prior to analysis by ICP-OES or AAS.

2. What makes the operating costs of the speedwave XPERT low?

The low cost is primarily due to the highly durable TFM-PTFE vessels, which have a long service life and are included in the instrument’s warranty, eliminating frequent replacement costs.

3. How does the system ensure safety?

The system uses SafePrep technology, which includes non-contact optical sensors to monitor the temperature and pressure of each vessel in real time, allowing for tight control over reactions.

4. Can the speedwave XPERT also perform extractions?

Yes, with the XTRACT configuration, the system can perform microwave-assisted solvent extractions, suitable for environmental and material analysis applications.

5. What is the advantage of the top-loading design?

The top-loading design allows users to insert and remove vessels individually, eliminating the need to lift and carry heavy, fully-loaded rotors, which makes handling easier and safer.

Conclusion

The speedwave XPERT microwave digestion system provides a safe, efficient, and cost-effective solution for sample preparation. Its advanced sensor technology and user-friendly design make it a reliable tool for the modern analytical laboratory.
