microwave assisted digestion (at elevated pressures)
Explanation:
"Mikrowellendruckaufschluss" = "microwave assisted digestion" (in general)
here: microwave assisted digestion at elevated pressures/high pressure

The key aspect of microwave assisted digestion is temperature - not pressure (1). Therefore, "Mikrowellendruckaufschluss" should be translated simply as "microwave assisted digestion" unless the digestion process is carried out specifically under controlled high pressure conditions as, for example described in (2), in which case "microwave assisted digestion at elevated pressures" or similar should be appropriate.

" Der Begriff "Druckaufschluß" ist mißverständlich, er täuscht vor, der Druck sei wesentliches Kriterium beim Aufschlußprozeß. Tatsächlich ist der während der Aufschlußreaktion sich aufbauende Druck eher ein lästiger Nebeneffekt, der durch aufwendige Behältertechnik sowie Meß- und Regeltechnik ausgeglichen werden muß. "

microwave pressure digestion


Explanation:
I found it by first comparing the English and German versions of this site:

http://www.anton-paar.com/sample-preparation/microwave_CXSN-...

and then reading the definitions of each respective one and googling them to check that they matched. This seems to be what you were looking for, but since it's a result of searching, and not of technical knowledge that I already have, I can't be 100% sure that I'm correct.
