Vessel OptionsCEM offers a large selection of pressurized vessels for the MARS System in
a variety of sizes and materials including Teflon, PFA, glass, and quartz
with completely sealed or vent and reseal covers. The MARS offers the
highest temperature (300 °C) or pressure (1500 psi) vessels for a broad
range of organic and inorganic samples to ensure complete digestions. The
system can also be fitted with a port for use with an open flask and
condenser.
With a portfolio of over 200 patents in microwave technology,
CEM offers the most advanced microwave laboratory systems available. Our
vessel and system designs have been widely recognized for their reliability
and ease-of-use. You can depend on the MARS Microwave Accelerated Reaction
System to provide accurate, reproducible results quickly and easily.
- The most precise, uniform microwave field for reproducible results
- Continuous microwave power delivery eliminates power surges
- Multi-level power settings, including low-power settings for small or highly reactive samples
- Intelligent & adaptive temperature and pressure feedback controls
- Patented isolator mechanism ensures reproducible power output to meet
- USEPA requirements
Designed for Superior SafetyDesigned and engineered with over 25 years of experience in innovative
microwave technology, MARS sets the standard in industry-leading safety
features. All MARS System cavities are constructed of solid, high-grade,
stainless steel and then wrapped in an acid and impact-resistant polymer
shell for maximum durability. The cavity is protected by a multi-layer
Teflon coating. Our patented isolator mechanism eliminates the possibility
of reflected energy returning to the magnetron and reducing its output,
making the MARS System the ONLY instrument available that can run safely at
full power. The advanced technology of the MARS System features a
precision-designed waveguide, which provides unparalleled uniformity in the
distribution of microwave energy throughout the cavity, eliminating the
need for older mode stirring technology.
System CertificationsThe MARS meets all of the necessary certification requirements for your
demanding laboratory including ETL and NRTL electrical safety approvals,
USEPA compliance, IQOQPQ documentation, NIST traceable sensors and
ISO-9001:2000 manufacturing certification.
MARSXpress OptionOptimum Control for the Digestion of High-Throughput or Routine Samples
With the advanced technology of the MARS System with the MARSXpress option,
high-pressure digestions have never been easier to run!
- NEW! MARSXpress displays and permanently records temperature readings for all vessels!
- Process up to 40 samples simultaneously
- No connections, no tools needed!
- Accurate internal temperature control
- Optional connection-free pressure regulation
- Confirmation of temperature for every vessel
The advanced design of the MARSXpress vessel in combination with CEM's
sophisticated and highly sensitive IR temperature sensors mean the internal
temperature of each vessel is measured virtually instantaneously without
any of the lag associated with competitive IR-based systems. The heart of
the system is the dual NIST traceable calibrated temperature measurement
system. The sensors accurately and instantaneously measure the temperature
of each individual vessel, providing users with unmatched control of
digestion parameters, as well as safety.
