CEM MARS 6 Microwave Digestion System Technical Analysis
Core Technological Innovations
As CEM's fourth-generation flagship microwave digestion system, the MARS 6 series incorporates three breakthrough technologies:
Intelligent Temperature/Pressure Control
- Patented STARM™ IR temperature monitoring (±0.5°C accuracy)
- Dual-redundant pressure relief valves (0-1500 psi operating range)
High-Efficiency Digestion
- 40L/55L large cavity design processes 48 samples simultaneously
- 2400W magnetron enables 10°C/sec heating rates
Safety Protection System
- Real-time 3D pressure monitoring (0.1s sampling interval)
- Triple-channel auto-shutdown (temperature/pressure/power)
Industry Application Performance
| Application Field | Typical Use Case | Key Metrics |
|---|
| Environmental | Soil heavy metal digestion | EPA 3052 compliant, 95-105% Hg recovery |
| Food Safety | Trace element preparation | >99% organic matrix digestion |
| Geological | Ore sample digestion | Handles 5g high-silica samples (SiO₂>60%) |
Secondary Market Valuation
Value Determinants
