How SRC Technology works At the core of the ultraWAVE 2 eco is Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology. Unlike traditional microwave digestion systems, all samples are digested together in one high-pressure PTFE-lined stainless-steel chamber. This ensures that every vial is exposed to identical temperature and pressure, eliminating differences between samples and improving reproducibility. Because the chamber is pre-pressurized with inert gas, the system safely reaches higher temperatures compared to conventional digestion systems. This suppresses boiling, avoids the loss of volatile elements, and prevents cross-contamination. The result is complete digestions, lower acid consumption, and faster turnaround times, for routine, rush and even for reactive samples. Download brochure 1. Load The rack with sample and reagents is placed into the system. 2. Close & Pre-pressurize The chamber is closed and filled with inert gas. 3. Heating & Control Microwave power drives digestion, with conditions monitored by an internal thermocouple. 4. Cooling & Venting The integrated air cooling rapidly cools the reactor and then is automatically vented.
