MARSXpress 2.0
Batch microwave digestion with AI-assisted operation — up to 40 samples simultaneously, built to DIN and European Norm standards, for laboratories that need reliable throughput without deep microwave chemistry expertise.
CEM's XpressIntelligence platform.
The MARSXpress 2.0 is a batch microwave digestion system with AI-assisted operation. It processes up to 40 samples simultaneously, using CEM's "XpressIntelligence" platform to automate decisions that previously required expert programming — a batch system for laboratories who want reliable throughput with less specialist microwave chemistry expertise.
Built to DIN and European Norm requirements.
Both batch systems. Different emphasis.
Both the MARS 6 and MARSXpress 2.0 are batch systems with similar throughput. The MARSXpress 2.0 emphasises ease of use and standards compliance; the MARS 6 emphasises flexibility, control and the widest range of vessel and configuration options. For a high-volume laboratory with a dedicated microwave chemist, the MARS 6 is the more powerful tool. For a laboratory needing reliable throughput with less specialist expertise, the MARSXpress 2.0 is the better fit.
The same accredited-laboratory base as the MARS 6.

Questions we are asked about the MARSXpress 2.0.
XpressIntelligence covers contactless per-vessel temperature sensing regardless of turntable position, automatic vessel recognition, simplified vessel assembly, XpressStart methods that need only a target temperature (the system calculates power ramp and hold automatically), support for multiple vessel types, and built-in documentation and reporting.
It is explicitly built to meet DIN and European Norm method requirements, directly relevant to South African accredited laboratories running EN 13805, EN ISO 54321 or similar methods.
Yes. The MARSXpress 2.0 uses the same vessel range as the MARS 6 — MARSXpress, MARSXpress Plus, EasyPrep, GreenChem, iPrep and Xpress — all microwave-transparent, with rapid controlled cool-down to a defined safe removal temperature.
For a high-volume laboratory with a dedicated microwave chemist, the MARS 6 offers more flexibility, control and configuration options. For a laboratory that needs reliable throughput with less specialist microwave chemistry expertise, the MARSXpress 2.0's simplified, AI-assisted operation is the better fit.
