SGS is proud to be among the first geochemistry laboratories to implement ColdBlockTM digestion technology, a groundbreaking advancement that is transforming the way geological samples are processed.

This innovative technology enhances SGS’s assaying capabilities by delivering faster, more precise and higher-throughput sample digestion, while significantly improving safety conditions for laboratory analysts.

“The adoption of ColdBlockTM technology marks a major milestone in our commitment to innovation and excellence.  It allows us to deliver superior quality results with faster turnaround times, while ensuring a safer and more sustainable working environment,” says SGS global chief chemist for geochemistry Dr Ljiljana Marjanovic.

Key Benefits of ColdBlockTM Technology:

  • Rapid sample digestion: Significantly reduces processing time, enabling quicker delivery of analytical results.
  • Improved accuracy: Ensures controlled and consistent digestion for more reliable data.
  • Higher throughput: Increases the volume of samples processed without compromising quality.
  • Enhanced safety: Minimises exposure to hazardous fumes and reduces risk for laboratory personnel. 
  • Eco-friendly: This energy efficient digestion technology avoids the use of some of the most toxic reagents and emits less fumes, supporting SGS’s sustainability goals.

SGS continues to lead the industry by integrating state-of-the-art technologies that meet the evolving needs of its clients. The implementation of ColdBlockTM under Marjanovic is a testament to SGS’s dedication to innovation, quality and client satisfaction.
