synthWAVE Single Reaction Chamber microwave Synthesis System

The new Milestone synthWAVE is designed for safe,reliable and reproducible scale-up of microwaveenhancedchemical reactions.It handles single or multiple reactions at temperaturesup to 300 °C and pressures to 199 bar.Small-scale synthesis methods are easily transferred tothe synthWAVE.Incredibly easy to use, the synthWAVE allows thechemist to run large-scale batch and parallel reactionslike never before.

SRC Technology

Milestone’s unique Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology overcomes the limitations of current microwave synthesis instrumentation. A PTFE lined, 1 L stainless steel reaction chamber serves also as microwave cavity. The design of the microwave source perfectly match the cavity shape for optimum microwave distribution and fast, even heating. The chamber is prepressurized with gas to prevent boiling of the solution, and is equipped with mechanical and magnetic stirrers. The microwave cavity is water cooled, which greatly reduces reaction cooling time and increases productivity.

easyCONTROL Operating Software

synthWAVE is controlled via a compact terminal with an easy-to-read, bright, fullcolour, touchscreen display. The terminal is provided with multiple USB and Ethernet ports for interfacing the instrument to external devices and to the local laboratory network.

The terminal runs a completely new user-friendly, icon-driven, multi-language software to provide easy control of the microwave run. Simply recall a previously stored method or create a new one, press ‘START’ and the system will automatically follow the user defined temperature utilizing a sophisticated PID algorithm. Furthermore, all reaction parameters can be modify “on-the-fly”, thus assuring the highest flexibility of operation.
