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.
Robust Safety and ReliabilityEquipped with multiple safety sensors, automatic door locks, and over-temperature/over-pressure protection, the MPS MR-100/8 320 ensures maximum user and sample security throughout the digestion process. The acid-resistant materials and advanced exhaust system are designed to minimize risks and maintain system integrity.
Versatile and Efficient PerformanceWith variable microwave power output and simultaneous multi-sample processing, the system enables high-throughput digestion for a range of matrices. Its direct heating technology and non-contact monitoring of vessel temperature and pressure provide accurate, reproducible results across various analytical applications.
User-Friendly Automation and ControlThe touchscreen LCD interface offers straightforward programming and method selection, allowing users to store and recall up to 100 protocols. This automation reduces manual effort and enhances operational consistency, making it ideal for laboratories seeking reliability and productivity.
FAQ's of PerkinElmer MPS MR-100/8 320 Microwave Digestion System:
Q: How does the MPS MR-100/8 320 ensure safety during microwave digestion?
A: The system features multiple integrated safety measures, including automatic door lock, multiple temperature and pressure sensors, and dedicated over-temperature and over-pressure protection. These work together with an advanced vapour exhaust and neutralization system, ensuring safe operation even under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.
Q: What types of samples and applications is this microwave digestion system suitable for?
A: It is designed for sample digestion in inorganic analytic sample preparation, commonly used in environmental, food, pharmaceutical, and chemical analysis. The system handles complex matrices efficiently, making it versatile for various testing requirements.
Q: When should I use the 100 mL versus the 320 mL digestion vessels?
A: The choice between 100 mL and 320 mL vessels depends on your sample volume and digestion needs. The 100 mL vessels are ideal for routine, smaller-scale samples, while the 320 mL vessels accommodate larger or more demanding sample sizes, enhancing throughput for busy laboratories.
Q: Where can the MPS MR-100/8 320 be installed and used?
A: The unit is intended for laboratory environments with ambient operating temperatures between 10C and 35C, a suitable mains power supply (220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz), and appropriate ventilation. Its robust, acid-resistant construction makes it suitable for demanding analytic laboratories across India and globally.
Q: What is the general process of using this microwave digestion system?
A: Users load samples into the acid-resistant TFM-PTFE and PFA lined vessels, secure the vessels in the system, select or program a method via the touchscreen, and then initiate the automatic digestion cycle. The system monitors and controls all parameters, ensuring precise and repeatable digestion outcomes.
Q: How does this system benefit laboratory workflows?
A: By enabling simultaneous digestion of up to 8 samples with programmable, automated methods, the MPS MR-100/8 320 significantly reduces preparation time and manual intervention. Its consistency and advanced safety features enhance productivity and data reliability.
Q: What compliance and quality standards does the MPS MR-100/8 320 meet?
