Platform for efficient microwave synthesis should suit industrial laboratories and R and D departments as well as process development and basic research at universities and industry
Anton Paar now offers a new instrument for microwave-assisted organic synthesis.
The new Synthos 3000 is specially designed for the production of chemical compounds in the multigram range.
Two powerful magnetrons (1400W) generate a homogeneous microwave field and allow the rapid heating of sample volumes up to one litre.
Microwave protocols which have been optimised on a small scale can therefore be reproduced easily on a larger scale.
Direct scalability and excellent reproducibility are ensured for a wide range of reactions, says the company.
The reliable reaction vessels can be used at temperatures up to 300C and pressures up to 80bar.
Synthos 3000 therefore opens new dimensions for organic synthesis.
Rotor systems for eight and 16 vessels enable parallel synthesis and increased sample throughput.
Precise temperature and pressure measurement guarantees optimal and safe reaction progress.
Practical accessories simplify special applications such as solid phase synthesis or the use of gaseous reaction partners in the microwave field.
Instrument safety is the number one priority at Anton Paar, says the company.
For this reason, Synthos 3000 is equipped with numerous safety features which reduce the risks of the consequences of using large amounts of chemicals in the microwave field.
The Synthos 3000 is described as a powerful platform for efficient microwave synthesis, not only for industrial laboratories and R and D departments, but also for process development and basic research at universities and in pharmaceutical and biomedical chemistry.
A highly qualified team of application specialists and microwave experts at Anton Paar give the user individual support for method development and the optimal use of instruments.
