MicroSYNTH

The MicroSYNTH system, with its accompanying line of accessories, is the most innovative labstation available for organic synthesis. As the system was designed with input from hundreds of users in a broad range of industries and academia, the MicroSYNTH platform therefore addresses the specific needs of the organic chemist. The MicroSYNTH is the only system that offers homogeneous microwave heating throughout its entire multi-mode cavity. Users can process single or multiple samples simultaneously, and reactions can be scaled-up to larger volumes in the same platform. Precise reaction monitoring and control, with an intuitive, easy-to-use software interface, provides exacting reproducibility and complete documentation.

Features

Dual magnetron system with pyramid-shaped diffuser for homogeneous microwave distribution

User-selectable continuous and pulsed microwave emission

All stainless-steel construction with highest safety through unique pressure responsive-door

Increased reproducibility through reliable magnetic stirring of solutions in all vessels

Increased reproducibility through homogeneous heating preventing localised hot and cold spots

Flexibility through use of any solvent even use non-polar microwave transparent solvents

Advanced User Interface via compact terminal with bright, full-colour, touch-screen display

Applications

The Milestone advantage in microwave-enhanced organic synthesis resides in the ability to provide thorough and effortless scalability. The systems offer tools to work with an entire range of volumes in the synthetic process, from discovery, through parallel synthesis, to large scale. The MicroSYNTH system and its accessories are developed with safe scale-up in mind, thus offering the safest solution for a wide range of synthesis needs:
