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.
