Hotblock Digestion System, 12-80 wells

Product Overview

The Hotblock Digestion System (PFA Coated Graphite) is the ultimate solution for large-scale sample preparation in ultra-trace metal analysis. By combining the superior heat conductivity of isostatic graphite with the extreme chemical resistance of PFA, this system eliminates the common problems of uneven heating and metallic contamination. The high-capacity design allows for the simultaneous digestion of up to 80 samples, significantly increasing laboratory efficiency while maintaining a "metal-free" environment essential for ICP-MS and ICP-OES workflows.

Product Synergy & Workflow

Optimized for an integrated, high-purity digestion chain:

• PFA Digestion Tubes: Custom-fit to the block wells to ensure maximum surface contact and efficient heat transfer.

• PFA Reflux Covers: Used in conjunction with the tubes to promote acid reflux, reducing acid consumption and preventing sample loss.

• PFA Trays & Racks: Specialized racks allow for the simultaneous loading and unloading of all sample tubes from the block.

• Acid Purification Systems: Provides the high-purity HNO₃, HCl, and HF required for the digestion of complex matrices within the system.

Application Fields & Industries

• Environmental Science: Large-batch digestion of soil, sludge, and wastewater samples for heavy metal monitoring.

• Geochemistry: Total dissolution of mineral and rock samples using concentrated hydrofluoric and perchloric acids.

• Food & Agriculture: Screening for trace elements and contaminants in various food matrices and plant tissues.

• Pharmaceuticals: Meeting strict regulatory requirements for elemental impurity testing in drug products.
