Rotor 8EVAP & Rotor 1DRYEvaporation & DryingVersatility in sample preparationThe Multiwave 3000 supports more than just digestion andextraction. Concentration of aqueous samples, drying ofsample material prior to digestion or removal of acids afterdecomposition can be done with the Multiwave 3000 in afraction of the time required by conventional techniques.Rotor 8EVAPThe evaporation rotor greatly simplifies and accelerates themicrowave-assisted evaporation of acids and concentration ofaqueous sample solutions.Prior to digestion, sample solutions can be reduced in volumein order to increase analyte concentrations and improvedigestion efficiency.After digestion, acids can be fumed off directly from reactionvessels under controlled clean room conditions. Acid vapors aresafely exhausted to an external scrubber and neutralized.4 Increased sample throughput4 No liquid transfer required4 Clean room conditions – no risk of contaminationScrubberRotor 8EVAP requires efficient acid fume and reaction gasexhaust. The optional scrubber washes and neutralizes thereagent vapors, which arise from microwave-heated acidevaporation and concentration processes. Efficient gas diffusershelp to wash out up to 95% of acids. Simply connect thescrubber to the Multiwave 3000 lead-through.Rotor 1DRYThe drying rotor is the ideal accessory for efficient handlingof samples prior to decomposition. Microwave drying takes aquarter of the time required by conventional methods, withoutcarbonization or contamination of samples. The integratedexhaust unit removes humidity and unwanted odors.
