Digestion System (Maintenance Agreement)

Digestion System option year/warranty. The microwave digestion system is critical for ensuring chemical analyses adhere to regulations per 21 CFR Part 74, which supports the FDA mission-critical Color Certification Program as required under U.S. law [Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), sec. 721; 21 U.S.C. 379e]. The current equipment cannot digest samples with complex chemical compositions, limiting our ability to conduct required elemental analyses by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for heavy metals in color additives subject to batch certification. A new instrument with enhanced functions such as stirring and temperature adjustments will enable proper sample preparation, method development for the quantification of low-level heavy metals, and characterization of reference materials for samples with complex chemical compositions.
