Automated Sample Digestion System Market Overview

he global automated sample digestion system market size was USD 183 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 323.25 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecasting period.

The process of converting a solid sample to a liquid condition by dissolving it in reagents such as strong acids, alkalis, or enzymes is known as sample digestion. The sample-reagent mixture is often heated to the point of boiling, which considerably accelerates the dissolution process.

An automated sample digestion system is disclosed in which a focused microwave digestion system is operated under computer control in conjunction with a computer controlled robotic positioning system such that sample tubes containing samples to be digested are loaded and unloaded into and out of the cooking cavities of the microwave digestion oven in a preprogrammed manner in order to both increase the efficiency of sample processing as well as to proliferate the system.

COVID-19 Impact: The Pandemic Dysfunctioned the Economy and Hampered Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented, staggering, as the automated sample digestion system market are experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributed to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has an influence on the global industrial business because governments have imposed human contact and foot limitations to prevent the virus from spreading. For the time being, the COVID-19 pandemic is primarily a health and humanitarian disaster, and businesses are quickly adapting. Normalcy is no longer available to us as the crisis unfolds, and 'business as usual' is even less so. Complexity, unpredictability, and potential characterise the emerging new reality. Organizations must accelerate, become robust, and agile in order to adapt and survive. The removal of the lockdowns is assisting firms in addressing the deep changes required in this new environment, from a people, operations, and technology standpoint, with speed and scale.

LATEST TRENDS

The ColdBlock and Clodblock Pro Automated Technology to Propel the Market Growth

Coldblock technology accelerates, secures, and simplifies your sample digestion process while maintaining the accuracy and precision you require. ColdBlockTM is the new standard in sample digestion. It is the first and only sample digestion technique that dissolves solid sample matter into solution for multi-element analysis using focused short-wave infrared heating and a cooling zone. ColdBlock digestions are a superior alternative to traditional technologies since they are finished in minutes, with greater safety and ease, and the same accuracy and precision.

The ColdBlock Pro Series is a simple, easy-to-use equipment that consistently produces correct results, has minimum maintenance requirements with no moving components, and is simple to clean, all of which contribute to decreased operating costs and higher lab throughput. Better scalability, the possibility to link up to four digesters to the same controller, digesting up to 80 samples in a single run with a 4xCBS system, and simpler operation with a fully software-based control programme are all advantages. The digester can now be run from a desktop computer, laptop computer, or tablet/iPad. Multi-step digestion programmes can be created, saved, and reused in addition the digestion activity is automatically recorded.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Fundamental Advantages of Automating the System to Boost the Market Share

The fundamental advantage of sample digestion is that it produces a solution that is more homogeneous and representational of the original material while removing complex matrix effects. Accelerating sample digestion could have a real influence on operational throughput and cost-efficiency, and consequently productivity and profit margins, especially for high-value operations like metals analysis. The fully automated sample digestion system ensures that each sample is processed exactly the same, eliminating the possibility of human error. Ideal for sample preparation and metals digestion that is both safe and dependable.

The Vulcan and Nitron Automated System to Enhance the Market Share

Vulcan Automated Digestion Vulcan is the first automated workstation that integrate the two crucial stages of sample preparation—digestions and aliquot transfer. The only automated digestion system that can prepare samples for analysis by transferring an aliquot of the digestate to an autosampler rack that is then ready for analysis is Vulcan.

For laboratories, Nitron provides high-Temperature automated sample digestion system and dispensing. It is intended for routine and adaptable heating processes up to 400°C. It is therefore perfect for automating processes using acids like sulphuric and phosphoric acid. With fewer priming steps required thanks to the six distinct reagent lines, dispensing is completed faster and with less cross contamination. By minimising user contact with hot samples and dangerous acid vapours, Nitron's all-plastic fume hood creates a safe atmosphere.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The Downside Leading to Poor Dissolution Efficiency to Restrain the Market Growth

The main advantage of automated sample digestion system is that it produces a solution that is more faithful to the original material and homogeneous while removing complicated matrix effects. Inadequate dissolve efficiency can result from our incomplete understanding of the pertinent dissolution chemistries, which is one of the disadvantages and thus hampering the automated sample digestion system market growth.
