Introduction
The Microwave Accelerated Reaction System, Model MARS 6®, is designed for laboratory use in digesting, dissolving,
hydrolyzing, extracting or drying a wide range of materials. Its primary purpose is the rapid preparation of samples for
analysis by atomic absorption (AA) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectroscopy and gas or liquid
chromatography.
The MARS 6 System brings a remarkable intelligence and ease of use to microwave sample preparation. The One Touch
Technology is like having a chemist built into the system. It combines more than 30 years of microwave chemistry
experience with today’s most advanced software and hardware technologies to give laboratories the most accurate,
easiest-to-use microwave sample preparation system ever designed.
The MARS 6 consists of
a microwave power system with operator selectable output of 0 - 1800 watts ±15%, by IEC Method 705-1988
a fluoropolymer-coated microwave cavity,
a cavity exhaust fan and tubing to vent fumes,
a digital computer programmable for unlimited programs consisting of up to five stages each,
an alternating or continuous mode turntable system,
3 door safety interlocks and an interlock monitoring system to prevent microwave emission when the door is
open.
The MARS 6 uses microwave energy to heat samples. Compounds such as water and other polar liquids absorb
microwave energy rapidly. A sample placed inside a microwave transparent vessel with a polar liquid or ionic solution
(usually an acid) in the MARS 6 is subjected to rapid heating and elevated pressures, causing the sample to digest or
dissolve in a short time.
At full power, the MARS 6 delivers approximately 1800 watts of microwave energy at a frequency of 2450 MHz. A
microcomputer controls and monitors operations.
WARNING
All CEM microwave digestion instruments are to be operated using CEM designed vessels and vessel
components. All CEM supplied vessels and components are manufactured to exact specifications in
order to provide a product that is reliable and safe to work in conditions that include high
temperatures and pressures. The use of vessels and vessel components other than original CEM
parts will put operators and equipment at risk. CEM will not assume any liability for use of these
parts and all warranties, either written or implied, will immediately become void. CEM vessels can
only be purchased direct from CEM or through its authorized dealer network. CEM vessels are
covered by worldwide patents including US patents 8,480,981 and 6,136,276.
