Small, handy, but still safe. All pressure vessels are made completely of TFM™-PTFE and consist of only a few parts. The vessels can be opened and closed with-out tools. The residual pressure is released in a controlled manner during opening providing safety for the user. The generous internal diameter makes cleaning a matter of child’s play.

Flexibility in use Microwave digestion must work and have to deliver dependable results. The innovative concept behind the vessels also provides solutions for dealing with the most difficult sample materials. The digestion vessels and rotor are independent components, making it possible to place the pressure vessels individually in the oven chamber and to remove them. After just a short cooling down period vessels can be exchanged without the need to ventilate the system beforehand. This flexibility permits a high sample throughput rate and outstanding productivity. Moreover, a multitude of requirements...

Sample temperature registered directly, contact-free and in real time With its patented Speedwave DIRC thermometer Berghof is taking a new direction. Thermal radiation in the mid infrared range in which TFM™-PTFE and quartz materials cannot absorb the radiation are measured contact-free. Filtering out of infrared radiation from the surface of the pressure vessels makes this process very precise and reliable. This permits the direct and real time detection of the temperature of each individual sample. Based on the temperature information the magnetron output is continually adjusted, thus achieving...
