The toploader design makes it easy to handle: The digestion vessels are inserted individually into the rotor from above and taken out again. It is therefore not necessary to transport a fully loaded rotor. In addition, the robust construction increases safety.

External controller

The microwave is operated via an external controller, which simplifies operation and increases corrosion protection due to being located externally. The controller, which is fitted with a high resolution color touch screen display and boasts the option to be operated via mobile devices such as a smartphone or tablet offering an intuitive and flexible method of control. The comprehensive application database helps the user to select the right digestion program.

Patented sensor technology

The patented optical measurement method guarantees users full control over the reaction. The instantaneous temperature and pressure measurement directly in the vessels allows spontaneous reactions to be intercepted, thus ensuring a seamless reaction.

speedwave® DIRC

  • Patented temperature measurement method
  • Optical detection of the sample temperatures in all vessels in real time
  • No reference vessels

 

speedwave® OTC

  • Contactless detection of the surface temperature of all vessels
  • Increased safety and shelf life of the digestion vessels
  • Individually programmable maximum temperature threshold

 

speedwave® OPC

  • Patented visual pressure monitoring method
  • Contactless recording of the pressure within the vessel in real time
  • No reference vessels

Overview of digestion vessels

All Berghof pressure vessels can be closed and opened without the need for special tools. The pressure digestion vessels in the DAP series consist of TFM™ PTFE vessels, rupture disc, TFM™-PTFE lid and screw cap.

  • Massive and long-lasting pressure containers made of TFM™ PTFE.
  • Can be opened and closed without tools.
  • Digestion vessel is covered by the device warranty.
  • Controlled release of residual pressure when opening the containers.
  • Digestion vessels can be used with the following mineral acids: HCl, HNO3, HF, H2SO4 and H3PO4.
  • Connection between all vessels and the gas collection system, which safely discharges any nascent gases.
  • Digestion vessel for small sample volumes <6 ml available upon request
