The importance of monitoring temperature and pressure in microwave digestion

Closed vessel, acid-assisted microwave digestion is a popular and effective way of converting solid samples into solutions for the direct quantitative determination of trace elements by spectroscopic techniques. Heating of the sample in a closed vessel is not limited by the boiling point of the acid solution, enabling significantly higher working temperatures (typically in the range of 200-260°C) to be achieved. The vapour generated during heating increases the pressure in the closed vessel and the increases in pressure and temperature are both key parameters that speed up the reaction rate and lead to the reduction in digestion times.

TOC
Choosing the Best TOC Analyser Technique to Use

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis is a well-established technique for the determination of water cleanliness and purity. However applications can range from the analysis of ultra pure water used in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries for Clean-In-Place (CIP) procedures through to drinking water and then to more contaminated samples such as wastewater and soils.

Micro GC Gas Analyzers from Lambda

Gas chromatography (GC) is a powerful analytical technique that until relatively recently was confined to the carefully structured environs of laboratory settings. Rugged GC systems have been developed to support commercial and industrial gas analysis in-line, reducing the bottleneck associated with offsite testing. Samples no longer had to be packaged and transported to far-off facilities in order to be assessed. This also led to a significant drop in the time taken to acquire results.
