Multiwave Smartly Vents Pressure

Anton Paar, a leading supplier of sample preparation instruments for more than 40 years, unveiled the Multiwave GO a routine digestion system with an extremely lightweight rotor for 12 vessels providing SMART VENT technology.

Based on a DMC Directed Multimode Cavity – a self-adjusting microwave field invented by Anton Paar - highly efficient heating is possible in an extremely small-footprint system. For efficient reaction control the internal vessel temperature of each vessel is controlled via an IR sensor.

The newly designed DMC Directed Multimode Cavity provides monomode microwaves focused directly on the sample for efficient heating; in multimode, up to twelve samples can be digested in a single run.

SMART VENT technology, a new pressure-activated-venting concept invented by Anton Paar, allows digestion of extremely high sample amounts and the possibility to safely digest samples with different reaction behaviour in the same run.

Based on the short digestion process times provided by the TURBO heating and TURBO cooling concept, a superior sample throughput of up to 12 samples in 18 minutes is possible; cooling times as short as 8 minutes for a fully loaded twelve-position rotor are possible, the company said.
