Introduction
Mini
WAVE
microwave digestion system is a top-loading, compact, microwave digestion system consisting of a touch screen controller and
up to four digestion inter-connecting modules. Each module is able to digest up to six samples simultaneously. Three IR sensors located on the
side walls monitor sample temperature. With its unique design, microwave energy is distributed throughout the digestion chamber to provide
reproducible results sample to sample. Ideal for environmental, agricultural, petroleum, geological and biological samples.
Unpacking
The system consists of a controller, module and racks for digestion samples.
Weight and Size:
Module: 30kg (65 lbs), 43 cm (16.8 in.) x 33 cm (13.0 in.) x 47 cm (18.5 in.)
Controller: 4kg (9 lbs), 30 cm (12.0 in.) x 26 cm (10.3 in.) x 23 cm (9.1 in.)
Mini
WAVE
is easy to install, unpack the module and place it on a table top at a convenient height for easy rack insertion. Set the controller
near the module and connect them together with the USB cable provided. Connect the power cable to each of the units, finish reading the
manual prior to continuing. Connect an air supply to modulate sample temperature during the digestion. The compressed air is also use to
facilitate fast cooling of the samples.
Inspection
Ensure all of the parts are included in the packaging. There may be some accessories that have been packaged in the same box as the
Mini
WAVE
. If damage is observed, contact the service department (see page 3 for contact information).
Instrument Description
This manual covers the use and operation of
Mini
WAVE
:
The touch screen controller may be used up to 4
Mini
WAVE
modules simultaneously. The system is fully functional with one module and
controller. Additional modules may be added as workload increases. Using two or more modules, one may run completely different sample
types on each module using sample specific operating conditions. One module can process six samples at a time.
