Now in two sizes, 23 ml and 45 ml. The speed and convenience of microwave heating can now be applied to the digestion of inorganic, organic, or biological materials in a Teflon Lined Bomb. The new Parr Microwave Digestion Bombs have been designed to combine the advantages of closed high-pressure and high temperature digestion with the requirements of microwave heating. Many samples can be dissolved or digested with less than one minute heating times. As with all Parr Digestion Vessels, careful design and testing effort have gone into the safety and sealing aspects of this unique vessel and operating environment. Call or write for Bulletin 4781 with complete technical details.
