Discover how to improve batteries performance and the chemical analysis of its components with microwave-assisted digestion, an essential ally to deliver faster and high-quality digestions for every Li-ion battery sample matrix, like Li-ores, anodes, and cathodes.

Read the top 5 things you want to take into account when selecting the optimal microwave digestion system for your lab.

Microwave-assisted digestion of organic samples: How simple can it become? Many papers recently published deeply exploit these instruments when applied for digestions of plants, animal tissues, foods, suet oil and pharmaceutical samples. Discover the most recent literature on the field.

The determination of fibre fraction in polymer composites is analytically challenging due to the difficulty in designing an efficient and selective protocol for separating the polymer matrix of composite samples without affecting the fibres. Microwave sample preparation has been successfully applied due to its selectivity and efficiency achieved by selective acid digestion.

Two new methods are available to simplify and expedite microplastic determinations. Two experts in the field answer to the most common questions on this topic and explain how the use of microwave technology has been applied to microplastic determinations by two different analytical techniques. Topics include: How microwave solvent extraction can be applied to MPs determination, How to combine microwave extraction to Py-GC–MS, Microwave digestion followed by gravimetric determination of MPs, The use of the microwave for selective digestion

Elemental analysis of heavy crude oil is important for a variety of reasons including region of origin, maturity, migration, type, and identification of potential challenges that could arise during the refining process. There are numerous challenges with analysis of heavy crude oil with most being centered on the sample prep process due to the complexity of the sample matric. Microwave digestion has been used to overcome these challenges.

This eBook describes the components of microwave rotor-based systems, highlighting their capabilities and the impact they can have on labs in terms of digestion quality, productivity, and running costs. It further demonstrates how the right configuration can be an ideal solution for challenging applications in the pharmaceutical, food science, and environmental testing industries

To accurately determine the composition of the elements in asphalt, it is essential that the sample be broken down into the smallest possible particles and completely digested with concentrated acid during sample preparation. Most microwave instruments had difficulty completely digesting these samples. TNO Mobility & Built Environment in Delft, the Netherlands, tested microwave digestion with ETHOS UP. In conjunction with ICP-AES, the system worked well for his elemental analyses. It was the only microwave oven that had completely digested the reference sample.
