ETHOS EZ: The Ultimate Solution for Microwave Sample Preparation
Milestone's ETHOS EZ system represents the state of the art in closed-vessel microwave digestion. Designed to meet the demands of modern laboratories, the ETHOS EZ offers seamless integration between microwave hardware, user interface, digestion sensors and pressure vessels. This system is specifically designed for closed-vessel acid digestion, offering total control of all reaction parameters, making it an indispensable tool for routine and high-end applications.
The ETHOS EZ stands out with its microwave cavity of over 70 litres, the largest currently available on the market. This feature allows digestion rotors with more space for samples, increasing productivity and sample throughput. In addition, a larger cavity improves inherent safety, as it contains gases escaping from the vessels more effectively in the event of sudden overpressure. For added safety, the ETHOS EZ is equipped with a stainless steel door with an innovative opening and resealing mechanism.
The ETHOS EZ is equipped with two 950-watt magnetrons, giving a total power of 1900 watts, enabling rapid heating of high-throughput rotors and complete digestion of even the most difficult samples. The system also uses a rotating diffuser that distributes microwaves evenly throughout the chamber, eliminating localised hot and cold spots. This technology guarantees superior digestion results, regardless of the nature of the sample.
The ETHOS EZ user interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The compact control terminal is equipped with a bright, easy-to-read colour touchscreen. It has several USB ports for direct printing of methods and digestion results, as well as ports for optional mouse and keyboard. Milestone's EasyCONTROL software, integrated into the terminal, allows simple and user-friendly control of the microwave sample preparation process, with real-time monitoring and control based on feedback from multiple parameters.
The ETHOS EZ offers a complete range of pressure vessels to suit all sample preparation requirements. All vessels use a minimal number of components to minimise assembly time and are extremely simple to configure. For example, the Q-20 vessels consist of only three components: a TFM lid, a high-purity vessel and a safety shield with an integrated safety valve.
Milestone's ETHOS EZ system is the ultimate solution for microwave sample preparation. It combines technology, optimal safety and unrivalled ease of use, making it an indispensable tool for modern laboratories. Whether for routine or high-end applications, the ETHOS EZ offers exceptional performance and reliability, guaranteeing superior digestion results every time.
