To most of our customers and colleagues in the lab testing industry, calling the year of 2020 ‘difficult’ may seem to be a drastically understated experience. While doing the best to protect the safety and health of their families in the midst of a global pandemic, many continued to carry out their daily testing duties millions’ wellbeing dependent upon.

The pandemic did not stop Preekem from doing what she does the best either, making stunning high quality microwave digesters (MWD). After a series of PreeKem models successfully entered the workforce in the past decade, the birth of M6, first model in PreeKem’s brand new ‘M’ family, comes at a time when new design ideas and concepts in improving reaction control, operation safety, hardware handling, and cost of use are being earnestly sought by both manufacturers and end users of MWD.

“M6 broadly makes the life in the sample prep lab easier, safer, and happier, aside from providing the eye-pleasing exterior design and robust sample digestion performance customers desire”, said the principal project manager Daisy Jin in her opening remarks during the virtual launch. Novel technologies and functions that are widely considered features of new generation instruments, such as the powerful, contactless mid-IR temperature sensors, vertical rotor conveyer, individual in-vessel temperature control, etc, became standard in this modern equipment. Pre-loaded method library saves tremendous time for method creation and editing. The floating safety door literally reduces the health hazards of a potential blast to zero. “It also has virtually no consumables”, Jin added, “so you should expect some substantial savings down the road, one of the many benefits M6 brings to the customers”.

“M6 is a beautiful and yet versatile workhorse that can truly make a difference for a lot of labs”, as Jeff Ni, CEO of PreeKem, concluded for the online ceremony.

Since the founding year of 2000, PreeKem has emerged as a leading China-based company in advancing laboratory sample preparation technologies especially in the domain of microwave-based digestion systems.
