Best in class technology
- Single-Mode microwave cavity with fiber-optic temperature measurement offers the latest and best in microwave technology
- Hydrolyze hydrophobic proteins more efficiently without excessive
degradation to sensitive residues: serine and threonine.
- Vapor phase hydrolysis allows only the acid vapor and its
condensate to hydrolyze the protein, thus eliminating contamination due
to the hydrolyzing acid.
- Samples remain in the same HPLC vial for hydrolysis and analysis – improving
accuracy and sensitivity.
