Typically, the main advantage of block digesters is the high level of automation, whereas infrared digesters have a higher heat transfer capability. The new Buchi SpeedDigester is the first infrared digestion system, in the marketplace, to combine both a high level automation and precise temperature control. The automation and shortened digestion times dramatically increases throughput while reducing operating costs.
The system is pre-programmed with 20 of the most commonly used methods and can store up to 50 methods total. A display screen graphically depicts the set and actual temperatures of the current digestion.
The newly designed heating chamber efficiently distributes heat to every sample, resulting in reproducible digestions without foaming.
Safety is of the utmost importance so the system features a tight exhaust manifold that connects to the Buchi B-414 Scrubber to remove harmful digestion vapors.
The SpeedDigester can be used with 300 ml sample tubes for standard Kjeldahl methods as well as 500 ml sample tubes for the larger volumes of environmental samples.
Fast, automated processing and accurate temperature control results in excellent reproducibility making the SpeedDigester the most convenient infrared digester in the market.
