Biotage has introduced the Initiator 2.5 microwave synthesiser, a system upgrade for synthetic chemistry that offers fast and scalable reactions.
The Initiator 2.5 offers increased heating performance, system guided run set-up and improved data management.
It features 400W of power to deliver the most precise heating control of any microwave synthesis-instrument on the market.
Unlike other microwave synthesisers, the Initiator 2.5 allows chemists to easily share methods and results, either through a USB port or network.
The Initiator 2.5 features a built-in computer and intuitive software that automatically converts conventional parameters to microwave conditions.
The Initiator 2.5 can heat a single sample for up to 96 hours.
The system features a wizard that guides new users through the programming of the instrument.
The Initiator 2.5 also offers total automation with an eight-position and 60-position robot for rapid optimisation of reaction conditions and analogue synthesis.
The initiator can use large and small vials to facilitate the scale-up of compounds of interest.
It also includes features that increase options for data management and connectivity, including the addition of a USB port at the front of the system, post-script printer capabilities, integration with electronic laboratory notebooks and easy e-mailing of results.
