HIGH TROUGHTPUT
The MULTIPREP-41 is a very high throughput rotor holding TFM or
PFA vessels, able to perform easy digestions or leaching-type
reactions on a variety of samples, such as soils, sediments,
wastewater etc.
INSERTS
TFM and Quartz inserts can be used within standard TFM vessels for smaller samples or to
minimize the dilution factor.
TOTAL MICROWAVE SAMPLE PREPARATION
FUSION
The new MultiFAST enables performing fusion in the ETHOS EZ. A variety of difficult samples,
such as cements, ores, slag, sediments, soils, rocks, ceramics, pigments, and glasses, quartz
can be successfully prepared for XRF, AA and ICP analysis.
The MultiFAST consists of a muffle furnace with a rotating carousel, which accommodates four
silicon carbide heating elements which contain the actual fusion crucibles. The crucibles are
rapidly heated by microwave. As they rotate, an optimal and homogeneous temperature is
ensured across all crucibles.
Moreover, an external contact-less infrared temperature sensor enables precise control for all
samples.
