Thomas Cain DEENA automated acid digestion system

The Thomas Cain DEENA automated acid digestion system fully automates the sample preparation for EPA and other laboratory methods that use hot water baths or heated blocks. Typically in metal and mercury analysis, manual sample preparation often consists of many steps that are both labour intensive and time consuming and expose the operator to dangerous chemicals.

DEENA removes the need for most of the manual sample preparation, reduces the errors associated with sample handling and has the necessary functionality to automate the sample digestion process without modifying it for up to 60 samples simultaneously.

In addition to dispensing reagents and heating the samples, DEENA prepares calibration and spike standards, shakes the samples, inspects their colour, adjusts the sample volumes after the digestion process and records every step taken in the process for audit purposes.

With the optional fume hood, DEENA can be placed on a benchtop. Alternatively, the small footprint of the DEENA allows it to be placed in most standard fume hoods.
