Sample Preparation for Element Analysis
Microwave Digestion offers high-pressure and temperature systems in order to increase reaction rates and decrease digestion times for sample preparation for trace metal analysis. Aurora’s range of microwave digestion systems offers low cost solutions for easy, quick and safe sample preparation. This is ideal for environmental, agricultural, nutrition, geochemistry, petrochemical and clinical applications.
With simple one-step operation, this cost effective microwave digestion system consolidates your AAS, AFS, ICP-AES, and ICP-MS digestions into intelligent, high-speed procedures.

The MW 680 is a top-loading, closed vessel microwave
digestion system with high-pressure capabilities to enhance
digestion quality while decreasing digestion time. This system
is capable of simultaneously running up to 6 high-pressure
closed vessels, providing a fast and automated method to
digest even the most difficult samples. With simple one-step
operation and full computer control of temperature and power,
this cost-effective microwave digestion system consolidates
your AA, ICP-AES, and CP-MS applications. The MW 680 is a
cost-effective system that provides optimal performance while
leading the industry in safety

Features:
• Round, pressure resistant heavy duty oven chamber made
of PFA-coated stainless steel with top-loading manual cover
• Evenly distributed microwave field throughout the chamber
to ensure uniform heat for each sample vessel
• Direct sensing and control of sample temperature
in closed vessels to ensure reproducible digestion every time
• On-line EPA protocols and methods directory, full compliance
with EPA methods
• Flexibility to program individual methods for specific
customizable sample preparation
• Automated recording of conditions during each digestion
• Windows-based software for real-time control of
temperature
Closed Vessel Digestion:
Closed vessel digestion reduces contamination issues
by ensuring a clean, controlled environment for each
individual sample. The MW 680 can hold 6 high-pressure
vessels operating at 350 psi and 250°C. A sealed
thermocouple sensor enable fast and accurate temperature
control.

The MW 680 comes standard with a range of safety
features:
• Top-loading
• Fume exhaust module
• Rupture disks and vent detection mechanisms on each
vessel automatically shut down power in response to
over-pressure
• Teflon lining of oven cavity
• Digestion vessels molded with engineering plastics
• Continuous temperature monitoring and control
• Release of acid fumes into collection reservoir in
vessel carousel
• Automatic pressure release mechanism in oven cavity
Computer Control:
MW 680 is a full computer controlled system. Its software
features direct control and sensing of temperature with
real-time graphic display, automatic data storage,
unlimited method storage, and complete record of
instrument parameters
