ultraWAVE 2eco

Single Reaction Chamber Microwave Digestion System

The ultraWAVE 2 eco delivers these core benefits to routine and regulated workflows through an accessible, right-sized design. It offers reliable digestion performance, streamlined day-to-day operation, and flexible capacity across applications—from food and environmental testing to pharma and polymers—making Milestone SRC a practical solution for modern laboratories.

The ultimate evolution in microwave digestion

Building on the success of ultraWAVE series, the ultraWAVE 2 eco redefines digestion efficiency and sustainability. By processing all samples simultaneously in a PTFE-lined stainless-steel chamber under uniform temperature and pressure, the system delivers complete and highly reproducible digestions across diverse matrices. With the ultraWAVE 2 eco, the goal was to make SRC-level performance accessible to every laboratory.

How SRC Technology works

At the core of the ultraWAVE 2 eco is Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology. Unlike traditional microwave digestion systems, all samples are digested together in one high-pressure PTFE-lined stainless-steel chamber. This ensures that every vial is exposed to identical temperature and pressure, eliminating differences between samples and improving reproducibility. Because the chamber is pre-pressurized with inert gas, the system safely reaches higher temperatures compared to conventional digestion systems. This suppresses boiling, avoids the loss of volatile elements, and prevents cross-contamination. The result is complete digestions, lower acid consumption, and faster turnaround times, for routine, rush and even for reactive samples.

KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES
THE BENEFITS OF SRC TECHNOLOGY
ONE METHOD FOR ALL SAMPLES

The ultraWAVE 2 eco combines a proven stainless-steel reactor design with smart engineering to deliver robust performance and simplified operation. With enhanced cooling efficiency, full chemistry compatibility, and an intuitive terminal, it is built to support both routine and occasional workflows while promoting sustainable laboratory practices.

Practical by design

The ultraWAVE 2 eco adapts to different laboratory needs with a wide range of racks and vials for both lowand high-throughput workflows. Handling is simplified: vials are made of just two parts, and operation is limited to placing or removing the loose-fitting cap, eliminating the cumbersome sealing required by traditional digestion systems. This flexibility makes the system an ideal choice for laboratories working in food, environmental, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, polymer, petrochemical, and agricultural applications.

Vial options

Vials are available in PTFE, quartz, and disposable glass to meet every application requirement from low blanks to full acid compatibility, while offering flexibility across different workflows. A wide selection of racks allows laboratories to meet any digestion requirement, from high-sample-mass protocols to high-throughput runs
