Digest Large Sample Sizes and Achieve Lower Detection Limits
Complete digestion of larger size samples have never been easier with the START Plus System. It is the only open vessel system that offers a unique patented temperature feedback control, the ability to process samples using different programmable methods, and the safety and convenience of automated reagent addition. The system incorporates one miniaturized reagent pump for every reagent on every cell, eliminating cross contamination of reagents. The STAR Plus System is also capable of evaporating digested samples to dryness for redissolution with nitric acid to aid in further analysis.
Process 2 samples independently using different methods at simultaneous or sequential start times
Automated evaporation of sample and reagent to dryness
Automated reagent addition
Pre-programmable "Time-to-temperature" parameters for rapid optimization of methods
1 pump per reagent for each individual cell
Easily digest difficult or highly reactive samples in sizes up to 10g
Self-contained scrubber system frees fume hood space
ISO-9002 accountability for program parameter
Small footprint fits virtually any laboratory
System software tracks reagent supply to prevent depletion
Software is easy to learn and intuitive to use - requires less than 30 minutes training
Process 2
samples independently using different
methods with simultaneous or sequential
start times. The STAR System uses
proprietary microwave technology to
ensure rapid, complete digestions
in an open vessel system that can
handle sample sizes up to 10 grams.
Safe
Eliminate handling
of hazardous chemicals with the STAR's
automated reagent addition. The STAR
System is environmentally-friendly.
Automated reagent addition eliminates
handling of hazardous chemicals and
a self-contained vapor scrubber keeps
fumes from escaping into the laboratory.
Easy-to-Operate
The STAR System
features pre-programmable "Time-to-temperature"
parameters for rapid optimization
of methods.
Control your STAR Plus
System from your PC! STARLinkT software
connects your STAR Plus System directly
to any PC (running Microsoft® Windows® 95
or higher) for method storage, data collection,
and graphic display of time and temperature
plots of digestions
Turn Your PC into a
Digestion Workstation
Create, store and recall methods, data
plots and detailed sample information
Use your PC for other tasks while running
a STAR System
Control multiple STAR Systems with one
computer
Supports bar code readers, foreign language
keyboards and Internet connections
Plot and print projected time and temperature
of digestions
Transport data to popular spreadsheet
programs
Automatic report generation
Reagent Evaporation/Reduction Condenser
– For rapid reduction of reagents
(i.e. sulfuric acid volume)
Vapor Containment System – Contains
and neutralizes fumes permitting operation
on a lab bench maximizing fume hood space
Reagent Pumps – Pump 30 mL of
reagent per minute! All parts of the pumps
that come into contact with reagents are
composed of inert materials. Additional
reagent pumps can be linked to expand
the number of reagents that can be added
by the automated reagent addition system
or to separate acid from the system and
other reagents.
Vessels
for the STAR Plus System
250-mL Pyrex Vessels – Standard
vessels for routine applications
250-mL Quartz Vessels – Designed
for high temperature applications and
acid concentration
250-mL Teflon Vessels – Used for
HF and phosphoric acid digestions
Volumetric Pyrex Vessels – Eliminate
transfer steps by digesting and bringing
sample to volume in a single vessel (50-
or 100-mL vessels)
