CEM Corporation, a leading supplier of sample preparation systems, is pleased

to introduce the all new BLADETM automated microwave digestion system. The

BLADE brings speed, simplicity, flexibility, and performance to elemental

sample preparation. CEM introduced the first commercially available microwave

digestion system to the world in 1985 and is transforming sample prep again

with the introduction of the BLADE.

"CEM is a science-based technology company passionate about simplifying

science. CEM's passion is to disrupt markets with innovative solutions that

provide speed and simplicity…we make things faster, simpler and smaller.  We

believe the BLADE is truly a breakthrough technology that will completely

transform the world of microwave digestion in the next few years." said Mike

Collins, President and CEO of CEM.

The BLADE was designed by chemists, for chemists. Combining CEM's world class

engineering capabilities with over 100 years of microwave digestion knowledge,

CEM worked alongside our customers in the development of this technology to

design a system that meets the needs of today's busy elemental analysis labs.

With this in mind, BLADE was designed to provide the fastest digestions of any

system in the world. The high-purity quartz vessels and simple snap-on-caps

eliminate vessel assembly and allow labs to prepare samples for digestion in

seconds.  The built-in barcode scanner allows labs to follow a sample from

balance to analysis with ease.

The BLADE is based on Single Mode Cavity(TM) (SMC(TM)) technology that focuses

the highest density of microwave energy directly on the sample, yielding faster

and more complete digestions in minutes. The BLADE is the only digestion system

with continuous sequential automation that automatically loads and unloads

samples from the cavity, allowing for uninterrupted sample processing and more

instrument uptime. This technology combination allows labs to mix and match

samples and automatically digest them without the need for any operator

intervention.

CEM Corporation, a private company based in Matthews, North Carolina, is a

leading provider of laboratory instrumentation. The Company has subsidiaries in

the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Ireland, and Singapore, as

well as a global network of distributors. CEM designs and manufactures systems

for life sciences, analytical laboratories and processing plants worldwide. The

Company's products are used in many industries including pharmaceutical,
