Digestion supplies
Following are the supplies needed for day-to-day operation of the AutoBlock.
See Section 11 for more catalog numbers and pricing.
3.1.1 Digestion cups
For most environmental samples (sample temp of <120° Celsius) AutoBlock must
use the #SC475 (500pk) single-use plastic cup. This is a screw cap cup that is
accurately graduated and lot certified for background metals.
3.1.2 Reflux Caps™
Reflux caps are designed to aid in reflux while still allowing the AutoBlock to
dispense reagents into the samples. Laboratory tests have shown that the reflux
cap performs equally to a classical ribbed watch glass. Cat # SC506, 1000pk.

The FilterMate is a single-use Teflon filter assembly with a single-use push rod.
This innovative filter is used with the sample digestion cup after digestion.
