**Legacy model.** The WX-8000 is no longer part of Preekem's current lineup. Current alternatives: U2 ultra-microwave (https://labsense.se/sortiment/preekem-u2/) (flagship, 200 bar / 300 °C) or M6 mid-range (https://labsense.se/sortiment/preekem-m6/) (3 rotor types, 160 samples/day). Service, spare parts, and consumables for installed WX-8000 continue to be ensured via Labsense.

## Description

The WX-8000 is a closed microwave system that enables complete digestion of organic and inorganic matrices in concentrated acids. High pressure and temperature capacity mean that even difficult-to-dissolve samples (coal, refractories, polymers) can be fully analysed without residue.

Built-in pressure and temperature monitoring per vessel provides full safety and method validation capability. TFM/PTFE rotors in multiple sizes make the same instrument suitable for both small environmental samples and larger petrochemical matrices.
