ColdBlock - Model Pro Series CBM -Medium Sample Size Digester System
A single CBM digester can run 16 samples at a time, up to 5g sample size. A scalable design can be combined into a 32/48/60 sample digestion system. No moving parts; minimal maintenance; stands up rigorous daily use. Operated with ColdBlock’s iPad/tablet/laptop-based software control system; create, save, and re-use single/multi step digestion programs. CBM test tubes are borosilicate; 100ml, 36mm diameter. Quartz tubes and HF-compatible test tube liners are also available. A single CBM package comes with digester, controller, 32 borosilicate test tubes, 2 stands, 2 transfer trays, and a replacement lamp (4000h).
Coldblock technology brings speed, safety, and simplicity to your sample digestion process, with the accuracy and precision you require.
Expect reliable, repeatable results across many industries & sample types - metals, mining, food, agriculture and environmental.
The ColdBlock Pro Series is our 3rd generation digester, incorporating years of experience and customer feedback. These new units deliver all the existing benefits of ColdBlock digestion:
- significantly faster digestion cycle times – typically < 20min,
- a simple, easy to operate unit that consistently delivers accurate results,
- low maintenance requirements with no moving parts; easy to clean,
- all resulting in lower operating costs and increased lab throughput.
- Three different size options that allow you to pick the digester best suited for the sample sizes processed in your lab,
- Improved QA/QC compliance with a single lamp per digester, which lasts 4000 hours, never fades/dims, and reduces maintenance costs,
- Better scalability, with potential to connect up to 4 digesters to the same controller, digesting up to 80 samples in a single run with a 4xCBS system,
- Easier operation with a fully software-based control program. The digester can now be run from a desktop, laptop, or tablet/iPad. Create, save, and re-use multi-step digestion programs. Digestion activities are automatically logged.
ColdBlock™ is setting the new standard for sample digestion. It is the first and only sample digestion technology that uses focused short-wave infrared heating and a cooling zone to dissolve solid sample matter into solution for multi-element analysis.
A superior alternative to conventional technologies, ColdBlock digestions are completed in minutes, with better safety and simplicity, and the same accuracy & precision.
Speed
With ColdBlock Technology, digestions range anywhere between 10-30 minutes, making it much faster than microwave and hot Block.
Simplicity
Easy integration into any wet-chem laboratory. Simple to scale up and automate.
Safety
Superior safety as the need for hazardous reagents (such as Perchloric and Hydrofluroric acid) is lesser compared to traditional methods and is a safer method for the environment with less waste used in the digestion process.
Savings
Customers reported report 50% less all-in cost per sample compared to fire assay and a 10-30% reduction compared to hot block and microwave sample digestion methods.
Digestions using ColdBlock Technology have an average cycle time of 10-30 minutes, much quicker than other traditional methods such as microwave and hot block.
