Adding Acids to Digestion Vessels – A Health and Safety Concern?

10 Feb, 2023

Published over 3 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Lab safety.

Operator exposure to acid fumes especially with working with multiple acids is a possible concern for health and safety when adding acids to digestion vessels. In addition, the task takes valuable operator time that limits laboratory productivity and the ability of the chemist to accomplish other tasks.

The Milestone easyFILL acid dosing station from Analytix removes all these concerns by providing automated dosing of up to six acids (including HF) and reducing operator time to just a few seconds.

The dosing compartment and all parts in contact with acids are manufactured from anticorrosive materials and the system is controlled via a Microsoft Surface GO with customised software that has pre-stored rack configurations. For routine processes, it is possible to create a library of customised methods with the type and volume of reagents and the number of vessel positions.
