Description
DEENA 4 – Automated Digestion System
Safe, Reliable, and Efficient Sample Preparation
The DEENA 4 is the advanced solution for the automated digestion of metals, mercury, total phosphorus (TP), and total nitrogen (TN). This system fully automates the sample digestion process, enhancing productivity and reducing human error. With enhanced hardware options and a high-resolution ultrasonic sensor, the DEENA 4 accurately dispenses small volumes of reagents into sample tubes, thoroughly mixes, heats, and reconstitutes the volume after digestion. Automation improves throughput and repeatability, helping to prevent human error.
Thanks to the optional self-contained HEPA-filtered hood, the DEENA can bring automated digestion even to labs with little or no space for a fume hood. The exhaust can be connected to an existing ventilation system to safely perform digestion anywhere in your lab.
