High-Performance Material
- Metals-Free Polypropylene: Manufactured from high-purity, metals-free polypropylene (PP) to ensure no trace metal contamination during aggressive acid digestion procedures.
- Chemically Inert: Specifically designed to withstand concentrated acids and high-temperature environments without leaching or degrading.
- Stable Thermal Properties: Maintains structural integrity and a secure fit during extended heating cycles on laboratory hot blocks.
Functional Design
- Integrated Reagent Access: Each cap features a precision-molded 1/2" (12.7 mm) centre hole, allowing for the easy addition of reagents throughout the heating process without removing the cap.
- Optimized Refluxing: Designed to promote efficient refluxing within the tube, maintaining sample volume and ensuring thorough digestion of complex matrices.
- Precision Fitment: Engineered to snap securely onto standard 50 mL Environmental Express HotBlock™ digestion tubes for a reliable, leak-resistant seal.
Ideal Applications
- HotBlock™ Digestion: An essential accessory for high-throughput sample prep using HotBlock™ and HotBlock™ Pro systems, specifically for EPA Method 3000 series.
- Trace Metal Analysis: The standard choice for laboratories performing ICP-MS and ICP-OES analysis where low-background blanks are mandatory.
- Laboratory Efficiency: The single-use design eliminates time-consuming cleaning protocols and the risk of cross-contamination between sample batches.
