Overview
The TRANSFORM 800 is an automated, top-loading, closed vessel microwave digestion system offering high-pressure capabilities to enhance digestion quality while decreasing digestion time. This system is capable of simultaneously running up to 10 high-pressure closed vessels, providing a fast
and automated method to digest even the most difficult samples.
With simple one-step operation, full computer control of temperature and power, and monitoring of pressure, this cost-effective TRANSFORM 800 consolidates your AAS, AFS, ICP-AES, Hg-Analyzer, ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications. The TRANSFORM 800 provides optimal performance and reliable quality for sample preparation while leading the industry in
safety.
Closed vessel digestion:
The TRANSFORM 800 has capacity for 10 high-pressure vessels capable of digesting at a working pressure and temperature of up to 800 psi and 250°C. Temperature feedback control is achieved with a sealed thermocouple probe enabling fast and accurate digestion by monitoring pressure and directly sensing and controlling temperature. The TRANSFORM 800 microwave system is more cost effective than comparable systems but has equivalent safety and performance.
Computer Control:
The TRANSFORM 800 is a computer-controlled system. Its
software features real-time control of temperature, pressure monitoring, graphic display, automatic data storage, unlimited method storage, and complete record of instrument parameters.
