Milestone, Inc.

Company Description

Laboratories performing organic extractions today are challenged to process more samples at lower detection levels with fewer available resources. Often the limitations of existing extraction approaches like Soxhlet and sonication, long run times, high solvent consumption, large operating costs, exposure to solvents, and low throughput create a "bottleneck" in productivity. In this light, Milestone offers a complete suite of microwave sample prep productivity tools, backed by 20 years of industry experience and an unmatched portfolio of more than 50 patents to break these bottlenecks. Milestone, a world leader in microwave technology, is known for providing safe, reliable, and flexible platforms that enhance the productivity of an organics testing lab. The key to Milestone's technological leadership lies in bringing together individuals from diverse scientific and engineering disciplines to solve real world problems with innovative microwave instrumentation.
