Rapid Digestors

Available in 4- or 25-place models, Rapid Digestors have an individual ceramic block heater module for each tube for efficient, uniform heat transfer. Unlike aluminum block designs, Labconco's ceramic modules have virtually the same coefficient of heat expansion as the digestion tube for rapid destruction of organic materials and fast digestions. Digestion times range from 25 to 45 minutes depending on the sample type and catalyst. Each ceramic heater is insulated on all four sides as well as the bottom to prevent heat loss and reduce external housing temperature.

The RapidStill II provides the ideal companion for the Rapid Digestors.
