Product Description

This block is intended to optimize both the safety and efficiency of quartz digestion in hydrofluoric acid. It holds 12 samples (in a 4x3 matrix); each sample bottle sits in its own circular hole, all enclosed in a rectangular box with a removeable lid. This configuration ensures that a sample cannot be knocked over during digestion, which would represent a significant safety hazard. The design of the box also traps heat, allowing the quartz to dissolve more quickly. There are two different size digestion blocks: one for 125 mL bottles and one for 250 mL bottles. See the Be/Al Extraction Method (PDF) for additional detail.
