Dr. Jocelyn Par demonstrates MAP technology and some of its applications.
More applications are in the works.
At ETC, we're attempting to use microwaves for what they do best, non-uniform heating. The MAP technologies use microwaves to assist in physical or chemical processes. The publicly available elements use microwaves to heat some substances more than others. In the first application, the MAP Division used microwave-transparent solvents to extract samples. The latest applications deal with extraction in the absence of solvents.
