Milestone, Inc.

Company Description

Laboratories performing organic extractions today are challenged to process more samples at lower detection levels with fewer resources. Often, the limitations of existing extraction approaches such as Soxhlet and sonication - long run times, high solvent consumption, large operating costs, exposure to solvents, and low throughput - create a "bottleneck" in productivity. To help break these bottlenecks, Milestone offers a complete suite of microwave sample prep and clean chemistry productivity tools, backed by over 25 years of industry experience and an unmatched portfolio of over 50 patents. As a world leader in microwave technology, Milestone has built a reputation for safe, reliable, and flexible platforms that enhance the productivity of organics testing labs. The key to this technological leadership lies in bringing together individuals from diverse scientific and engineering disciplines to solve real world problems with innovative microwave instrumentation.

Over 20,000 customers worldwide look to Milestone to improve their organic extractions, metals digestions, mercury analysis, and synthetic chemistry processes. We partner with our customers to meet their challenges now and well into the future.
