Microwave Chemistry
Microwave Chemistry describes the state-of-the-art of microwave (MW) technology and its applications in chemistry.
Last generation, dedicated microwave platform
While other manufacturers use molded plastic, Milestone uses 18/8 stainless steel construction throughout which creates the most durable, reliable, and safe microwave system available.
Classic Glassware
The flexiWAVE has been designed and engineered as a
‘microwave platform’, where all types of commonly used
glassware can be used.
This clearly results in a very flexible system, with a wide range of applications capabilities. The Classic Glassware setup, for instance, provides the suitable apparatus for a full reaction optimization, for research or teaching purposes.
It allows the chemists to perform synthetic reactions under reflux and subsequently, any chemical reaction currently carried out with hot plates, heating mantles or oil baths, could be rapidly improved by adopting microwave technology.

High-Pressure
Stubborn reactions are typically carried out in refluxing
conditions, using high boiling solvents such as xylenes,
1,2-dichlorobenzene and N-methyl pyrrolidone.
High boiling solvents are then difficult to remove upon workup, especially as reaction scale increases.
The High-Pressure setup is capable of replacing reflux devices, moving from high boiling solvents to low boiling solvents. Moreover, high temperature reactions (up to 300 °C) can be used. The benefits are well known and documented in terms of easier work-up and products purity.
Up to 15 high-pressure vessels may be used simultaneously for parallel synthesis.

Solid-Phase
Heating heterogeneous reaction mixtures, thick media
or solid phase systems suffers of inhomogeneous
temperature distribution and stirring difficulties using
conventional microwave instruments.
The innovative Solid-Phase setup offers the unique
capability of physically rotating the reaction vessel, to
achieve very homogenous bulk heating of slurries, viscous
and solid reaction mixtures media.
The reaction temperature is controlled by a contact-less
infrared sensor.
Furthermore, the Solid-Phase setup allows operations
under normal atmosphere, inert gas, and vacuum.
Functionalization and modifications of materials,
polycondensation, coating, and dehydration of natural oils
are some of the most common applications.

Operating Software
Simply recall a previously stored method or create a new one; by pressing 'START', the system will automatically follow the user defined temperature profile using a sophisticated PID algorithm.
Hundreds of applications, including all US EPA methods, are preloaded in the ETHOS UP terminal, virtually eliminating any need for method development.
