Microwave digestion platform:
Multiwave 5000

Sometimes, it can be difficult to predict which conditions are required for full digestion, or how a sample will react – especially when dealing with unknown or frequently changing samples.

With a database of more than 500 methods, Multiwave 5000 eases your workload. Use sample tags to search for your application and Multiwave 5000 will provide you with the program – and even recommend a recipe – directly on the instrument, without any paperwork. 

A pre-installed method library of >500 programs gives you access to the most comprehensive application knowledge base on the market. No need to spend hours of valuable lab time developing the right method.

Conventional user interfaces make you go through pages and pages of menus and lists each time you’re in front of the instrument. 

SmartScreen lets you configure the home screen according to your needs: define shortcuts to often-used programs, menu links, or experiment data.

Save time, nerves and money by configuring the Multiwave 5000 home screen, so the instrument behaves like it’s truly yours.

You’re not an expert in analytical chemistry but you have to perform acid digestion procedures in your lab. You need an instrument that is easy to operate.

Questions? Simply watch the video manual directly on the screen. 

We guide you through the whole process step-by-step.

You’re standing in front of the instrument with a fully loaded rotor, and the door is closed.

With the unique hands-free door opener, all you need to do is push gently against the door. You can do it with your elbow – no need to set the vessels or rotor aside.

It's the simple things: Multiwave 5000 takes convenience to the next level.

Some samples are challenging, they have changing compositions, or their reactivity is unknown. 

Multiwave 5000 and its various rotors are designed for any challenge. Premium operation parameters and a supreme reaction control – with the seal of Austrian quality – allow for complete digestion of even the most demanding samples. 

Our rotors, especially those with SmartVent technology, are designed for a broad range of samples – from routine ones like food, feed, or environmental samples, to demanding ones like ceramics, oil, polymers, and petroleum. 

Some samples require special treatment beyond microwave acid digestion.

Multiwave 5000 goes beyond digestion: perform other sample preparation techniques or even synthesis. Microwave heating technology makes all these methods faster, safer, cleaner, and more cost-efficient than classic, conventionally-heated alternatives. 

Multiwave 5000 is a future-proof instrument. With the broadest portfolio available, you can extend your setup – rotors from previous models can be carried over.

Final digestion temperature and sample weight are often limited by the pressure built up during the digestion reaction.

The use of SmartVent technology is a reliable way to deal with overpressure. 

Thanks to the controlled release of reaction gases, maximum digestion temperatures are attained independent of the applied sample amounts.

Long liners, lots of vessel components, difficult cleaning and unsafe operation of conventional vessels are downsides in the lab. 

The practical design of the SmartVent vessels – available in different volumes – facilitates all steps of operation: from sample weighing and reagent addition to closing, opening, and cleaning.

Fast, safe, tool-free operation providing new levels of performance and convenience for the sample preparation lab.  

Setup, but also alignment and cleaning of vessel parts, can be tedious. Tools get lost in the lab and additional handling steps can mean setting up an experiment takes longer than the experiment itself.

Opening and sealing Multiwave 5000's rotors, vessels, and sensors is quick and simple – just use your hands.

Unique tool-free handling makes closing and opening vessels twice as fast. 

Super-high throughput and fast turnover times are often requirements in elemental analysis. 

Anton Paar’s rotors are robust, lightweight, and accommodate more samples on a smaller footprint.

The practical design of our vessel impacts all operation steps: from sample weighing and reagent addition, to closing, opening, and cleaning. Digest up to 64 samples in a single run.

Safety is non-negotiable, especially at elevated temperatures and pressures. 

Multiwave 5000 comes with active and passive safety features: self-checks, software interlocks, and a resealing safety door. This way, users and equipment are protected.

Each instrument is tested individually, but beyond that, Multiwave 5000 is the only sample preparation microwave platform with ETL and GS “approved safety” certificates from independent testing institutes.

Correct temperature and pressure control are the key to reliable results. Conventional sensors require extensive efforts to set up, employ only one control strategy, or react slowly due to infrequent vessel control or temperature measurement solely in a reference vessel. 

Comprehensive reaction control is guaranteed thanks to temperature and pressure control for each position, including various control strategies for the simultaneous digestion of different sample types. Our newest additions: SmartTemp temperature sensor and SmartVent detection (for identification of venting events).

Reaction control is easier and safer than ever before: The new SmartTemp sensor combines the fast temperature feedback of an internal temperature probe with the convenience of an infrared sensor. 

Work interruptions can be annoying and time-consuming. Especially if you have to change rooms to check if everything is running smoothly, or if the experiment has finished.

The color and mode of SmartLight reflect whether an experiment is in progress, finished, or on standby. SmartLink connects Multiwave 5000 to your PC, notebook, tablet, or mobile phone, so you can monitor and operate experiments remotely.

No need to dash over from your desk to check if the run is finished – just cast a glance from afar. Automated notifications keep you informed, whether you’re in the lab or on the go.
