About this file
This is a sole source justification letter from CEM Corporation to Mississippi Polymer Institute regarding the BLADE Microwave Digestion System. The letter, dated April 11, 2024, establishes CEM Corporation as the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of an automated single mode cavity microwave digestion system with autosampler capabilities. The system's unique features include the ability to automatically load and unload individual vessels into the microwave cavity and an integrated camera system for real-time digestion viewing.
The technology is protected by multiple U.S. patents, including patent number 4,835,354 for the microwave heating system, and features a patented single mode cavity design that delivers the highest watt density available. The system incorporates a proprietary quartz vessel with a patented snap cap design. Additional patents protecting this technology include 6,713,739; 6,744,024; 9,943,823; 10,527,530; 4,672,996; and 5,215,715.

We are pleased to learn that our BLADE Microwave Digestion System is being considered for purchase by Mississippi Polymer Institute.
CEM Corporation manufactures this instrument in the United States and provides it through representatives directly employed by CEM. At this time, CEM is the sole source of supply for an automated single mode cavity microwave digestion system with an autosampler to load and unload individual vessels into and out of the microwave cavity. The BLADE is also the only system that incorporates a camera for real time digestion viewing. There is no other system available that provides a live look into the vessel, which is important for verification of a complete digestion.
CEM Microwave Digestion Systems have been commercially available since March 1985. The microwave heating system itself is protected by patent number 4,835,354. The patented single mode cavity design provides the highest watt density of any system and can therefore digest even the most difficult samples. The BLADE utilizes a unique quartz vessel with a patented snap cap to eliminate vessel assembly.
I hope that this answers any questions concerning CEM Corporation being the sole domestic source for instrumentation utilizing an autosampler and single mode cavity design with a camera feature. If you should have need for additional technical information please feel free to contact your local representative, or to call me at (704) 821-9366. We look forward to working with you in the near future.
Sincerely, Sam Harrelson Sam Harrelson Territory Sales Representative Sam.Harrelson@cem.com
