About the MARSXpress Plus Vessels
The MARSXpress™ Plus vessel is designed for microwave digestion in a MARS 6
TM
with any temperature
control option. The MARSXpress Plus vessel is well suited to run samples such as: plant and animal tissues,
environmental, mixed food samples, consumer products, and industrial hygiene. Depending on the turntable
capacity, up to twenty four (24) vessels can be prepared simultaneously to meet the throughput requirements of
most analytical laboratories. Preinstalled One Touch™ methods take the guesswork out of method creation and
sample preparation.
The MARS 6 requires software version 1.49 or newer to operate MARSXpress Plus.
This manual is intended for use by both novice and experienced users for the operation and maintenance of
the MARSXpress Plus Vessels. Additional information, including but not limited to: training notes and videos,
