Milestone is a technology driven company dedicated to providing the scientific and industrial communities with the most technologically advanced microwave instrumentation available for research and quality control applications.
Our commitment to engineering microwave systems with superior performance capabilities and maximum user safety is evidenced by ETHOS 1, the advanced microwave digestion labstation that fully embodies Milestone's philosophy in microwave sample preparation. Specifically designed for closed vessel acid digestion, the ETHOS 1 can process any kind of samples, with full control of all reaction parameters and built-in "Digestion Quality Assurance". With the proper choice of accessory, the ETHOS 1 turns into a first-class instrument for open vessel acid digestion, sample drying, solution evaporation, and even solvent extraction or protein hydrolysis.
Milestone's R&D has also developed the UltraCLAVE which is a truly revolutionary system for microwave digestion. Thanks to its unique design, the UltraCLAVE offers all the advantages familiar to microwave users while further improving the traditional microwave digestion systems.
The UltraCLAVE enables the simultaneous processing of up to 77 samples, all under identical conditions, or the complete digestion of extremely large sample size, in the order of 100+ grams, large batches of mixed sample types, and difficult sample matrices requiring sustained high temperatures. With a working temperature up to and beyond 280°C, and pressure up to 200 bar, the UltraCLAVE is the truly next generation microwave digestion system.
