Safety and control at the core Safety engineered into every detail Microwave closed-vessel digestion operates at elevated temperatures and pressures with concentrated acids, so the system must ensure maximum protection unader all conditions. ETHOS is designed with safety as a priority: its rugged stainless-steel construction guarantees durability, while the unique pressure-responsive door, mounted on loaded springs, provides the highest level of protection. Even in the unlikely event of an overpressure release from a vessel, the stainless-steel door fully contains the pressure, while the exhaust system safely directs acid fumes to the laboratory ventilation. The automatic door-locking mechanism prevents opening until a user-defi ned safe temperature is reached, and the integrated SafeVIEW camera provides continuous real-time monitoring of the cavity.
