Building the Future
Scale-UP Microwave Synthesis
The benefits of microwave enhanced organic synthesis
Microwave enhanced chemistry
represents a fundamental step forward
in the capabilities of synthetic chemists.
Since its introduction, it has allowed
organic chemists to run reactions faster
than ever before and with higher yields,
and to scale-up experiments reliably
from milligrams to much larger
quantities without the need to alter
reaction parameters.
Microwave enhanced chemistry offers
much more precise control over
temperature and pressure conditions than any alternative technology, and
unsurpassed ease of use. The total
number of papers on microwave
synthesis has grown quickly in recent
years, from about 300 in 1995 to over
3000 in 2006!
Today, microwave enhanced organic
synthesis has become a cutting-edge
technology across the pharmaceutical,
biotech, polymers, fine and agrochemical
industries, with thousands of
installations worldwide.
As a result, there is growing demand for the ability to scale-up synthetic reactions
in the microwave from grams to
kilograms.To address those needs,
Milestone has developed the new
BatchSYNTH and Flow SYNTH.
The two systems are based on the
MicroSYNTHplus microwave unit.
This revolutionary system is a turn-key
package for performing parallel, batch
and continuous flow reactions in the
same platform. This advanced scale-up
instrument can be configured to meet
your needs, now and in the future.
