Multiwave 7101/7301/7501 Series – Demanding Samples, Easy Digestions
50 4 FEBRUARY 2024 - VOLUME 49 ISSUE 1 MARCH 3 8 2
Anton Paar is excited to introduce the Multiwave 7101/7301/7501 series, a breakthrough in high-performance instruments for microwave digestion. The series lets you choose the ideal microwave digestion system for your analytical needs with minimal running costs and space requirements.
Leveraging decades of experience in pressurised acid digestion, these instruments operate on the pressurised digestion cavity (PDC) concept. With specifi cations of up to 300°C and 199 bar, they ensure complete digestions from routine to challenging samples. Achieving low detection limits, low blanks, and high sample weight per position, the instruments comply with international standards pre-programmed in the software.
With user-friendly software-guided procedures and no method development or sample clustering required, the Multiwave 7101/7301/7501 series sets a new standard in microwave digestion, providing researchers and laboratory professionals with unparalleled precision, effi ciency, and fl exibility.
