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.
