Now you can choose the best method for each sample without buying two full sets of vessels! Switch from
fully sealed to self-regulating simply by changing the cover!
OmniTM Vessel
Especially well-suited for organic digestions, the self-regulat-
ing cover maximizes the digest quality while maintaining the
pressure at an optimal point below 500 psi, preventing the
sample from becoming an aerosol. Digest up to twice the nor-
mal sample size of most organic samples including wipes,
plant materials, plastics and polymers. As gas is evolved by the
digestion process, the self-regulating Omni Vessel cover safely
maintains a pressure consistent with the temperature required
to achieve the digestion. The use of safety membranes is not
required and the vessel may be used with pressure and temper-
ature feedback to allow maximum flexibility and control with
the safe dissipation of the gaseous by-products of the reaction.
The fully sealed cover ensures complete digestions of difficult
samples in a pressurized environment (up to 1500 psi) and
may be used with the MARS 5 pressure and temperature con-
trols. Digest ores, slags, refractory materials and ceramics in Specifications
