High-Purity TFM Vessels

Milestone offers a series of segmented rotors that use high-purity TFM vessels and covers.

Vessels are placed in a sample rotor and secured with a calibrated torque wrench for uniform pressure. If the operating pressure exceeds the vessel limits, a patented spring device allows the vessel to open and close instantaneously, bringing the internal pressure down to a containable level. Unlike other release designs, Milestone's "vent and reseal" design releases only the excess pressure, allowing valuable sample materials (including volatile elements) to remain in the vessel. Milestone vessels are also easy to assemble, unlike other designs that have cumbersome single-use consumables.

Milestone vessels are inherently safe, since only the excess pressure is released and exhausted from the microwave cavity. Less stress to the oven and the vessels themselves means increased durability, longer lifetime, and safe handling.

Note: If you move your mouse over the image at right, you can see an animated schematic of our how our patented vessel design fits together.
