Prime Technical Center: Basics of Microwave Digestion
Khartoum, 15 November 2017
As part of the launching event of the Prime Technical Center, a workshop was conducted by Dr. Hannes Schleifer from Anton Paar GmbH in the application of Microwave Digestion. Several participants from various organizations participated, especially government test labs.
After a brief introductory seminar by Dr. Imad Ahmed, the Managing Director of Prime, Dr. Hannes Schleifer presented the different technicalities and applications of the microwave digestion systems from Anton Paar, namely the Multiwave PRO system.
A point of discussion which received much interest from the attendees was the issue of recovery percentage of elements of interest after sample preparation. After comparing the traditional methods with the microwave methods, the attendees were impressed by the high recovery percentage possible by microwave digestion.
Dr. Ashraf Sherif, a researcher at the National Center for Research, noted that by using traditional methods, they were not able to exceed 66% recovery for most of their samples, and that they were quite impressed by the recovery rates of microwave digestion systems which may reach up to 95% or more,.
After the refreshments, the participants contributed to a lively discussion and several queries and issues were answered.
At the end of the seminar, the participants thanked Dr. Schleifer for his valuable insights, and agreed that microwave digestion is indeed a solution for the future.
