Abstract: The invention refers to a distillation apparatus (100) for extraction of volatile components from biological material (50), especially from plants, comprising a housing (10) defining a sample chamber (S), a drum (30) arranged in the sample chamber (S), the drum (30) defining a receiving chamber (R) for receiving the biological material (50), and at least one microwave generator (70) for irradiating the biological material (50) with microwave radiation when received in the drum (30); wherein the drum (30) is rotatably arranged in the sample chamber (S) about a rotation axis (H) which is oriented substantially horizontally.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for producing a driving force for stirring samples, in particular samples for laboratory operations such as, for example, liquids, liquids with solid samples contained therein or solid samples, said apparatus comprising a sample holder (200) for receiving at least one sample vessel (220) for samples and a bar element (300), which extends along a longitudinal axis (LA) and which is connected to the sample holder (200), wherein the bar element (300) comprises a coupling portion (310) for detachably coupling the bar element (300) to an operating unit (800), a fastening portion (320) for fastening the sample holder (200) to the bar element (300) and for positioning the sample holder (200) along the longitudinal axis (LA) in defined fashion, and a magnetic stirring portion (330), wherein the bar element (300) is embodied in such a way that a magnetic field that rotates relative to the sample holder (200) about the longitudinal axis (LA) can be produced by means o

Abstract: The present invention relates a spectrometer (1) having a lamp (2) that extends in substantially tubular fashion for the purposes of forming a light emission zone (3) that extends in the direction of the tubular extent and between two points to the end of emitting a first light beam (L1) and a second light beam (L2) that have the same origin on the light emission zone (3), a sample container (6) that is arranged in the beam path of the first light beam (L1) for receiving a sample to be measured, a first detection apparatus (D1) that is arranged in the direction of the first light beam (L1) for quantitative and/or qualitative determination of the sample to be measured in the sample container (6) on the basis of an interaction between the sample to be measured and the first light beam (L1), and a second detection apparatus (D2) that is arranged in the direction of the second light beam (L2) for the purposes of referencing the quantitative and/are qualitative determination, on the basis of the second light beam

Abstract: The invention describes a high-pressure vessel for holding samples which are to be heated, the high-pressure vessel having: a lower part (5, 104) and a lid part (6, 105) which can be locked together and when closed surround on all sides a reaction chamber for initiating and/or promoting chemical and/or physical high-pressure reactions, it being possible for the lower part (5, 104) and the lid part (6, 105) to be moved relative to each other in an automated fashion between an open access position and a closed microwave processing position, a sample holder (101) and/or a vessel insert (9) being connected to the lid part (6, 105).
