During microwave digestion, the sample is heated to a maximum of 260 °C in a microwave -transparent vessel with an acid micture. Pressure is produced. The sample decomposes and goes into the solution.

Microwave power is continuously regulated with the measured sample temperatures and pressures.

Vessels:

• Volume 100 mL
• Working pressure 100 bar
• Operating temperature 260 °C
• Maximum temperature 300 °C
• Sample weight
• 3 g (inorganic)
• 0.7 g (organic)
