ultraCLAVE - unique automation in information technology

MLS

The system ultraCLAVE IV A reduces the manpower in information technology by incomparable ease of use. In addition to the high sample throughput and improved information quality and the safety was significantly increased.

The system ultraCLAVE IV A offers the highest degree of automation in the information technology. The tedious and time-consuming closing and opening individual pressure vessel belongs to the past.The samples are introduced together with the necessary acid mixture in standard quartz or PTFE test tubes and covered with a dust cover.

This will lead to any cross-contamination during the digestion between the individual samples, the reactor before heating with microwave energy with inert gas is charged. The gas pressure causes an extreme increase of the boiling point, whereby the closing of each sample container is unnecessary. In addition, a special micro-filter Blindwerteinschleppungen prevent dust particles and ensures optimum conditions for trace analysis.

With the available sample racks then depending on vessel size up to 90 samples simultaneously open. The sample rack is the pressure of the "ultraCLAVE IV" made in. Without manual intervention, the system is automatically closed. After completion of the decomposition process, the opening is again automatically, and all containers are moved out from the pressure reactor. Through the use of commercial vessels, these can be used directly in the sample changer of analytical instruments further.

All samples are in the same pressure reactor. This absolutely identical conditions are ensured. In each run can reference compounds as internal standards with open-minded. Each individual course will be certified by it. The information can be carried out at 200 bar under the highest conditions of 300 ° C. As a result, an optimal digestion quality results even for difficult samples and high sample weights.

Through the direct microwave heating of the digestion takes place in no time. During the process remains cold, the pressure jacket and is additionally cooled by a circulation thermostat. This causes a rapid cooling after the heating program.

In addition, this particular effect is also positive by an extremely low material stress of the pressure reactor. The wear of sample containers and the pressure reactor is greatly reduced, which results in significant savings in consumables and maintenance costs. All this adds up to less cost analysis for each sample with optimum quality information.
