MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

  • Microwave reactor

    The Microwave SynthWAVE reactor is used to safely, reliably and reproducibly increase microwave-enhanced chemical reactions. It allows high volumes in comparison to the conventional microwave reactor, up to 500 ml. The software allows to control the temperature and the cooling flow around the reactor contributes to a better control of the temperature in the system. In addition to this, the temperature sensor is in contact with the reaction mixture, not outside as in other devices, suppressing the error of the measured temperature reaction.
    The mechanical stirrer, unlike other devices that only have a magnetic stirrer, makes stirring more efficient as it helps to control viscosity. The main advantage of this reactor is the multiple inputs and the output channels, which allow the sampling and addition of reagents during the reaction.
