What is a microwave used for?

The applications of this equipment are wide in different areas, generally used to mineralize solid samples from which information is obtained at elemental level through spectroscopic technique, so it is necessary that the sample is in liquid state, this apparatus is present in laboratories dedicated to the environment, agriculture, food, plastics, petrochemical industry, geochemical industry, metals, ceramics.

Due to its function and the analyzes it provides it is used in many areas, where it is given a specific use according to the requirements of the samples, they are used to determine the nitrogen/protein, in: textile products, fertilizers, grains, vegetables, beers, meats, water, oil, geological, metallurgical, coal, biological medicine, petroleum chemical industry, environmental monitoring, wastewater treatment, battery manufacturing, cosmetics, etc.

What is a Microwave Digester Used for

  • They are used for nitrogen/protein determination.
  • Pre-treatment of samples (hydrolysis) for fat extraction.
  • Soil digestion for metal analysis.
  • It allows the decomposition of the matrix and facilitates the release of the components of the sample to be analyzed.
  • Dramatic reduction in the time required for a reaction.
  • Removal of contaminants.

Uses according to microwave digester applications

  • Wastewater: determination of total carbon and total organic carbon in sludges and soils, determination of N/ proteins in nuts, determination of: fluorine, acid, TKN, mercury, alkalinity.
  • Raw material and crude: determination of textile oils and fats, analysis of total mercury and mercury in synthetic gypsum, analysis of petrochemical samples.
  • Soils: mercury analysis in soils, determination of total nitrogen and liquid fertilizers, determination of total carbon and total organ carbon, among others.
  • Vegetables, seeds and oils for food use: determination of nitrogen/ protein in malt for: beer, plants, cereals, nuts, pumpkin seeds, soybeans; stability of the oxidation of butter, determination of oils and fats in textile fibers, among other applications.
  • Toxicological: mercury analysis of urine and blood.

In general, the microwave digester is used in different areas, with similar applications, but thanks to this more advanced technology, all these analyzes are achieved in a reduced time, and without discarding samples.

Types of microwave digesters brand KALSTEIN

  1. Microwave digestion system YR04959 // YR04960: 

  • The 360° continuous rotor rotates in the same direction. Ensures even and complete digestion, also reduces engine wear, which greatly prolongs its useful life.
  • The 7-inch color LCD touch screen displays real-time temperature and pressure, also working time and trend curves.
  • The material of the sample digestion vessel is imported TFM. For the outer protection container, PEEK and fiberglass are imported which could prevent corrosion by high temperature, high pressure and acid.
  1. Microwave digestion system YR04953 // YR04956: 

  • It’s a new microwave digestion system designed. Unlike the previous series of models, it has a new design and is completely updated with higher performance and a safer protection system.
  • The intelligent design and perfect performance make it very well received by users all over the world.
  1. Microwave digestion system YR04957 // YR04958: 

  • The advanced non-contact IR sensor could measure the real-time temperature of the sample solutions in each digestion vessel. Meanwhile, the non-contact pressure sensor could monitor the real-time pressure of each vessel.
  • This makes the insulation between the temperature and pressure control system, also prevents cross contamination of the sample. Each value of temperature and pressure in real time is displayed throughout the digestion process, allowing a clear verification of digestion conditions.
