Technology

IR sensor provides full

control of the digestion
process.
The MARS 1 features a close-proximity-floor-mounted
IR temperature sensor to provide superior temperature
measurement and control. The sensor ensures exact power
application based upon cavity load.

• Close proximity of sensor provides superior temperature

measurement and control.

Intuitive Software
with Built in Methods.
MARS 1 utilizes a touchscreen interface. Simply choose a
CEM method or create your own and press start, MARS 1
does the rest.

The system automatically identifies the number of

samples. Then delivers the precise power required to
perform a complete and safe digestion.
