An alternative to conventional digestion technologies

Revolutionizing Sample Digestion Technology

ColdBlock 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.

Unmatched speed, simplicity, safety and savings

Speed

ColdBlock digestions have an average cycle time of just 10-40 minutes, much faster than microwave or hot plate methods. Efficient bulk handling adds even more productivity.

Simplicity

ColdBlock is set up by a single person in under 30 minutes. Simple software controls make it possible to save and reuse digestion methods. Maintenance and cleaning take less than 10 minutes per week.

Safety

ColdBlock eliminates the need for hazardous perchloric acid and operates safely in open air within a vent hood. The cooling zone ensures safe handling of test tubes, with no need for pressurization steps.

Savings

Shorter digestion and faster throughput significantly boost lab productivity. Customers report a 10-30% cost reduction compared to hot block and microwave methods.
