Features & Benefits:
Your Chemistry. Simpler.
Heating reactions to high temperatures and pressures of up to 300 °C and 30 bar opens new possibilities in chemical synthesis. Now there is ultimate flexibility in choosing a solvent: even low boiling point solvents can now be run at higher temperatures. Using “Regulate on pressure” enables the reaction to reach highest possible temperature during the run. A simpler process for delivering your chemistry.
Your Chemistry. Faster.
Most chemical reactions require heating, and typically can take several hours to complete. This is a major bottleneck to chemical synthesis. However, it doesn’t have to be like this. The Biotage Initiator+ microwave system allows reactions to be completed in a fraction of the time – so an average reaction that usually takes hours is over in minutes. How does it do this? By super-heating the reaction under pressure to greater than the solvent boiling point, driving reactions to completion in record time.
Your Chemistry. Greener.
Reactions that by conventional heating methods take hours can now be achieved in minutes, greatly reducing the energy consumption and therefore green footprint of the chemistry. Direct heating of the sample and solvent through microwave absorption (as opposed to convention heating) also allows high concentrations of reactants to be used, reducing the solvent requirements and therefore the after-reaction waste.
