This project will address development of an automated, sample prep workstation platform intended to perform the key tasks of microwave energy heated, close-vessel, sample digestion and associated tasks. As the project title states, significant focus of the development effort will be on low cost, small form factor, and a modular design. The project goal is to develop a platform that competes in price with current microwave-assisted digestion systems in the marketplace, but with the inherent benefits of automation i.e. automated sample loading/uploading, and automated sample vessel preparation with reagent additions and volumizing.
