Acid digestion One Touch Makes All the Difference Mars 6
CEM brings a remarkable intelligence and ease of use to microwave sample preparation with the new MARS 6 System.
Totally redesigned with an impressive list of features and capabilities, MARS 6 was developed to make microwave sample preparation virtually effortless.
Advances in ICP and ICP-MS systems demand a microwave sample preparation system capable of providing fast, complete digestions for lower detection limits in a high-throughput environment. The need to balance shrinking budgets with higher productivity demands a cost-effective, robust platform that can be easily upgraded. Changing laboratory dynamics demand a system with built-in training capabilities. MARS 6 provides all of this in the most easy-to-use microwave sample preparation system ever developed.
At the heart of the MARS 6 is CEM's new One TouchTM Technology, an unparalleled combination of more than 30 years of microwave chemistry expertise with the most advanced software, sensor, and touchscreen technologies. It's like having a CEM chemist built into the system. Simply choose a One Touch method and the MARS 6 does the rest, automatically recognizing the vessel type, counting the vessels, and determining all of the parameters necessary for a fast, complete reaction.
- Choose from simple CEM One TouchTM Technology or MARS Classic method programming
- Dual magnetrons (1800W) - more power delivery than any other microwave digestion system
- PowerMAXTM power control technology delivers maximum energy to the sample for more complete digestions
- Large wide-format, high-resolution, acid-resistant touchscreen - no external controllers needed
- Remarkably easy-to-use, intuitive onboard software
- Advanced sensor technology for vessel recognition, temperature and pressure control
Maximum Control Option MARS 5
Fluoropolymer liners of TFM®, combined with CEM's proprietary composite sleeve material and open frame architecture make this high technology molded vessel the safest option for extreme matrices. Quite simply, these vessels are the lightest, strongest and fastest cooling vessels available. The strength-to-weight ratio of CEM's advanced vessel designs negates the need for exterior cooling devices. Forget accessory cooling blowers, water baths, or ice baths! No other vessels cool this fast!
All MARS Systems contain built-in software safeguards that disallow programming to unsafe combinations of pressure and temperature. CEM offers a range of liner choices for its vessels including TFM, PFA, quartz, and glass.
Configure your MARS System with XP-1500 PlusT vessels, the ESP-1500 Plus and RTP-300 Plus reference vessel controls and TempGuard Plus for the highest temperature and pressure conditions available with maximum safety and control.
Maximum Control for the Digestion of High-Temperature or High-Pressure Samples
- NEW! Optional all-vessel temperature control
- Highest temperatures (up to 300 °C) or pressures (up to 1500 psi)
- Easy "pop-in" sensor connections
- In situ temperature control
- Direct pressure feedback & control
High Throughput MARS Xpress
Optimum Control for the Digestion of High-Throughput or Routine Samples
With the advanced technology of the MARS System with the MARSXpress option, high-pressure digestions have never been easier to run!
The advanced design of the MARSXpress vessel in combination with CEM's sophisticated and highly sensitive IR temperature sensors mean the internal temperature of each vessel is measured virtually instantaneously without any of the lag associated with competitive IR-based systems. The heart of the system is the dual NIST traceable calibrated temperature measurement system. The sensors accurately and instantaneously measure the temperature of each individual vessel, providing users with unmatched control of digestion parameters, as well as safety.
- NEW! MARSXpress displays and permanently records temperature readings for all vessels!
- Process up to 40 samples simultaneously
- No connections, no tools needed!
- Accurate internal temperature control
- Optional connection-free pressure regulation
- Confirmation of temperature for every vessel

Discover EZee - Acid Digestion System

The Discover E-Zee is an affordable, entry-level system that is ideal for labs that would like the
advantages of using microwave energy for their acid digests, but do not need the throughput or upgradeability of a full-featured Discover SP-D System. The Discover E-Zee System digests one sample at a time using conventional microwave vessel technology.
Discover E-Zee is not upgradeable to a Discover SP-D.
STAR System
Complete digestion of larger size samples have never been easier with the START Plus System. It is the only open vessel system that offers a unique patented temperature feedback control, the ability to process samples using different programmable methods, and the safety and convenience of automated reagent addition. The system incorporates one miniaturized reagent pump for every reagent on every cell, eliminating cross contamination of reagents. The STAR Plus System is also capable of evaporating digested samples to dryness for redissolution with nitric acid to aid in further analysis.
- Process 2 samples independently using different methods at simultaneous or sequential start times
- Automated evaporation of sample and reagent to dryness
- Automated reagent addition
- Pre-programmable "Time-to-temperature" parameters for rapid optimization of methods
- 1 pump per reagent for each individual cell
- Easily digest difficult or highly reactive samples in sizes up to 10
- Small footprint fits virtually any laboratory
- System software tracks reagent supply to prevent depletion
- Software is easy to learn and intuitive to use - requires less than 30 minutes training
