ColdBlock Technologies’ digestion technology — the first and only sample digestion technology that utilizes focused short-wave infrared heating and a cooling zone to dissolve solid sample matter into solution for multi-element analysis — is a superior alternative to conventional digestion sampling technologies. Digestions are completed in minutes, with the same accuracy and precision as traditional methods, with greater safety and simplicity.

SPEED

What would a reduction in digestion time from hours to minutes do for your lab workflow and productivity?

Digestions using ColdBlock Technology have an average cycle time of 10-40 minutes, significantly faster than microwave (75-90 minutes) or hot plate (90-240 minutes)

SIMPLICITY

Setting up the ColdBlock system is easy – can be completed by a single person in less than 30 minutes.

No moving parts, minimal maintenance routine (<5min/week), simple software controls; save and reuse multiple digestion methods. Easy integration into any wet-chem laboratory.

SAFETY

Superior safety with reduced need for hazardous reagents such as Perchloric and Hydrofluroric acids.

Safe open-air operation within the vent hood (no pressurization of acids).
Cooling zone allows for safer handling of test tubes upon completion of the digestion.

SAVINGS

Shorter digestion = faster throughput and shorter turn-around time, leading to significant increase in lab productivity.

Customers reported a 10-30% reduction in all-in costs compared to hot block and microwave sample digestion methods.
