Automatic Microwave Digestion Platform (for ICP Sample Pre-treatment)

This platform integrates ten functional modules: automatic capping and decapping, fully automatic freeze-drying, shaking and mixing, precise weighing, automatic acid dispensing, microwave digestion, volumetric dilution, visual inspection, laser marking, and automatic cleaning. It utilizes dual six-axis robotic arms and a gantry system for coordinated transfer, with global scheduling managed by control software. The entire workflow, from raw samples to instrument-ready solutions, is automated. It can process 16 or 40 tubes in parallel per batch, reliably supporting 108 or 320 samples per day, and directly produces standard solutions ready for ICP measurement.

Features

• Automatic Acid Dispensing for Corrosive Media

PTFE corrosion-resistant tubing safely delivers strong acids such as HF. Quantitative dispensing is performed within a fully enclosed flow path to prevent corrosion hazards.

• Coordinated End-to-End Workflow:

The system employs dual six-axis robots combined with a gantry structure. Pre- and post-treatment operations run in parallel during the digestion hold time, ensuring seamless batch handover.

•  Dual-Mode Digestion (Ambient and Elevated Pressure)

Automatic loading and unloading into the microwave digestion chamber is performed. Coupled with temperature interlock protection, both atmospheric and pressurized digestion modes are available for stable batch output.

• Closed-Loop Cleaning & Verification

PTFE tubing supports repeated cleaning cycles. Visual inspection checks for residual material at the tube bottom; samples that fail this inspection are automatically routed back for re-digestion.
