The START D is equipped with a single industrial magnetron.Typical delivered power is 1200 watts, allowing rapid heating of high throughput rotors.A microwave diffuser located above the microwave cavity evenly distributes microwaves throughout the cavity,preventing localized hot and cold spots.The START D is equipped with the most advanced reaction sensors for temperature and pressure control.
Furthermore, Ethos X takes advantage of innovative and proprietary technology. The fragrances configuration is based on the solvent free microwave extraction (SFME) technology for the rapid extraction at atmospheric pressure of essential oils from aromatic herbs, spices and dry seed, developed at the Laboratory of Chemistry of Natural Substances and Food Sciences at the Université de la Réunion, France. The method involves placing the sample in the microwave reactor, without any added solvent of water. A cooling system outside the microwave continuously condenses the vapors which are collected in a dedicated fragrances glassware. Once the essential oils have been extracted, they can be analyzed by GC-MS without any preliminary clean-up or solvent exchange steps.
