In this paper, we proposed a high-throughput microwave digestion system based on multi-batch reactors (three quartz test tubes inside commercial PTFE vessels). This original configuration was validated by ICP-MS analysis of several elements in biological certified reference materials (fish tissues and plankton). The proposed system was proved to be free from contamination showing very low LODs. The improved hardware configuration is therefore highly beneficial for the detection of trace elements in microsamples from the marine food web.

Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a high-throughput microwave digestion system based on multi-batch reactors (three quartz test tubes inside commercial PTFE vessels). This original configuration was validated by ICP-MS analysis of several elements in biological certified reference materials (fish tissues and plankton). The proposed system was proved to be free from contamination showing very low LODs. The improved hardware configuration is therefore highly beneficial for the detection of trace elements in microsamples from the marine food web.
