About the MARSXpress Vessels
The MARSXpress
™
vessel is designed for microwave digestion in a MARS 6
TM
with iWave® or IR temperature
control. The MARSXpress vessel is well suited to run samples such as: plant and animal tissues, environmental,
mixed food samples, consumer products, and industrial hygiene. Up to forty vessels can be prepared
simultaneously to meet the throughput requirements of most analytical laboratories. Pre-installed One Touch
™
methods take the guesswork out of method creation and sample preparation.
The MARS 6 requires software version 1.49 or newer to operate MARSXpress.
This manual is intended for use by both novice and experienced users for the operation and maintenance of the
MARSXpress vessels. Additional information, including but not limited to: training notes and videos, application
notes, software updates, and parts can be viewed on CEM’s website at https://cem.com/marsxpress.
Depending on the MARS configuration, this Manual should be used in conjunction with the MARS 6 iWave
Manual (P/N 600832) or MARS 6 IR manual (P/N 600284). Read and fully understand all documentation
before operating the instrument.
