"Merrill Loechner" <mwave@milestonesci.com> "Charles Schoenfeld" <charles@milestonesci.com> Mon, 12 Jun 2006 00:00:01 EDT Mon, 12 Jun 2006 00:00:01 EDT Courant for Mac OS X http://www.milestonesci.com/images/logo-white.gif http://www.milestonesci.com 127 120 Milestone's supreme achievement in the field of microwave chemistry is the new UltraClave, a microwave autoclave, designed for high-pressure, high-throughput sample preparation. The UltraClave is the only instrument of its kind--a revolutionary development in the field of microwave chemistry. It combines microwave heating with high-pressure vessel technology, enabling researchers to conduct reactions at pressures and temperatures up to 200 bar (2,900 psig) and 350 degrees C. http://www.milestonesci.com/ultraclave.php "Charles Schoenfeld" <charles@milestonesci.com> Wed, 02 Jun 2004 00:00:01 EDT Milestone's new Ethos MOD Labstation for Open-Vessel Digestion allows you to rapidly and easily digest larger samples and highly reactive organic compounds. This self-contained system includes an acid scrubber module and a fully automated acid dosing system. http://www.milestonesci.com/ethosmod.php Wed, 12 May 2004 00:00:01 EDT Our new PRO rotor is the perfect choice for high-throughput microwave sample preparation. Using 100 mL vessels designed to stay fully sealed under high-pressure conditions, and an in-situ temperature probe for the most precise and accurate control of the reaction process, the PRO rotor allows you to process up to 24 samples simultaneously, using established microwave methodologies. http://www.milestonesci.com/digacc-thru.php Wed, 12 May 2004 00:00:01 EDT Milestone has developed a wide-ranging line of products to support Clean Chemistry sample preparation. Each product addresses an aspect of advanced sample processing in the modern analytical laboratory. From making your own ultra-pure acids to ultra-trace cleaning techniques, Milestone can bring your sample preparation procedures in line with your advanced analytical processes. http://www.milestonesci.com/cleanchem.php Wed, 12 May 2004 00:00:01 EDT Your lab used to be clean enough . . . but when you are performing sub-ppb and even ppt determinations, you need to work at a whole new level. Our recently published book Clean Chemistry: Techniques for the Modern Laboratory provides practical guidance toward controlling and reducing your analytical blank. http://www.milestonesci.com/ccbook.php Wed, 12 May 2004 00:00:01 EDT Milestone's DMA-80 Direct Mercury Analyzer directly analyzes a broad range of solid and liquid samples for trace level mercury with no sample preparation required. Results are determined in as little as five minutes and are matrix independent. High-throughput, unattended operation is easy with our built-in autosampler and advanced software control. http://www.milestonesci.com/mercury.php Wed, 12 May 2004 00:00:01 EDT We are pleased to offer new quartz sample boats, which make it possible to process aqueous samples in the DMA's autosampler. http://www.milestonesci.com/quartz-boats.php Wed, 12 May 2004 00:00:01 EDT Milestone has recently added new application notes on the determination of mercury in Plant SRMs and Light Naphtha (Petroleum Ether) to its web site. http://www.milestonesci.com/mercres-apps.php Wed, 12 May 2004 00:00:01 EDT Every purchase of an Ethos series microwave labstation includes a copy of Milestone's Tips & Techniques quick reference manual.
