Application Digestion System
The MPS 320 is a reliable and easy-to-operate microwave digestion system for PerkinElmers AA, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS instruments that accommodates a wide range of sample matrices and applications. It provides the choice of closed-vessel digestion, a requirement for working with volatile elements, or unique, easy-to-use and high-throughput auto-venting vessels, which allow digestion to continue when preset pressure is reached. And you can also select from four different rotor configurations depending on your needs. All of this, plus state-of-the-art temperature/pressure control and a variety of unique safety features.
Precision and Safety in Sample PreparationEngineered for demanding analytical environments, the MPS 320 blends high-power microwave digestion with robust safety controls. Its optical pressure and temperature monitoring, comprehensive protection systems, and automatic fan cooling ensure optimal sample processing while safeguarding users and equipment.
User-Friendly Automation for High ThroughputThis system simplifies workflows through fully automatic operation, a large color touchscreen interface, and programmable methods for flexible, rapid multi-sample digestion. Supporting up to 32 simultaneous samples and secure user profiles, it boosts productivity in laboratories handling diverse matrices.
FAQ's of PerkinElmer MPS 320 Microwave Digestion System: MR-85/32:
Q: How does the MPS 320 ensure precise digestion results?
A: The system utilizes direct microwave irradiation coupled with real-time optical (fiber) sensor monitoring for pressure and temperature, maintaining tight control (1C) throughout the process. This enables consistent, reproducible digestion outcomes for a wide range of laboratory samples.
Q: What safety features are integrated into the PerkinElmer MPS 320 Microwave Digestion System?
A: The instrument incorporates multiple safety measures, such as overpressure and overtemperature protection, automatic cut-off, a secure door interlock, and robust vessel construction using TFM-PTFE. These mechanisms safeguard both users and the equipment during operation.
Q: When should laboratories choose the MPS 320 for sample preparation?
A: The MPS 320 is most suitable when rapid, simultaneous digestion of multiple samples is required-particularly for high-throughput analytical, environmental, or quality control laboratories that process up to 32 samples per batch under high pressure and temperature conditions.
Q: Where can the MPS 320 be installed and operated?
A: This fully automatic microwave digestion system is designed for laboratory use and can be installed wherever there is AC mains power (220-240 V, 50/60 Hz) and adequate ventilation. It is compact enough for benchtop placement, with dimensions of 570 x 570 x 630 mm.
Q: What is the process flow for running a digestion in the MPS 320?
A: Users load samples into high-purity TFM-PTFE vessels, select or program a method via the touchscreen, and initiate the process. The system automatically monitors pressure and temperature, completes digestion, then cools samples with an automated fan, consistent with the selected protocol.
Q: How does the system benefit laboratory workflows and data handling?
A: The MPS 320 stores up to 1000 customizable methods internally and supports multiple password-protected user profiles, ensuring traceability and streamlining batch-to-batch operations. Its efficient heating/cooling cycle and simultaneous digestion capabilities maximize laboratory throughput and reliability.
