Enables sample digestion in closed vessels. The samples are treated with acids and heated under microwave irradiation (up to approx. 1600 W). This serves to release elements or compounds for subsequent analysis.
Removes water from a frozen sample by converting the ice directly into water vapour in a vacuum (sublimation) and then removing bound water by heating or dry phase.
A laboratory chamber furnace that can heat samples and is therefore used for thermal processes such as annealing and ashing of samples.
