The CEM MARS 2™ is a powerful, dual-magnetron laboratory microwave digestion system operating at 1800 W with an advanced iWave temperature sensor installed in the outer position. It features a spacious 1.8 cubic foot fluoropolymer-coated cavity for chemical resistance, and integrates advanced user controls via a capacitive LCD glass touchscreen. Designed with safety and durability in mind, the unit incorporates a corrosion-resistant exhaust system, a robust steel door with a spring-loaded quadruple safety latch, and a direct drive alternating turntable with optical sensor. The MARS 2™ is ideal for laboratories needing consistent, controlled digestion using the MARSXpress family of vessels only.
