The Monowave 300 monomode microwave reactor from Anton Paar can offer users new reaction routes in small-scale applications.
It has been designed to be a powerful tool for microwave-assisted synthesis.
The reactor offers simultaneous IR and fibre-optic temperature control for accurate reaction monitoring and safe process control, and temperature and pressure limits of 300C and 30 bar.
An high field density ensures reproducible heating rates (up to 9C/sec) in any scale and for any solvent, including non-polar solvents, thus negating the need for heating elements.
The built-in high-performance stirrer ensures homogeneous distribution and offers further enhanced reaction rates.
Two different vials (10mL-30 mL) allow for a small-range scale-up, while caps and silicon seals assure reduced costs of consumables.
An integrated, coloured LCD touchscreen enables easy and intuitive software navigation for control of reaction parameters.
Several built-in connections facilitate the implementation of MonowaveTM 300 in a laboratories network system.
The instrument features a Windows-based embedded PC with touchscreen interface, two USB ports, an Ethernet LAN connection and serial connectors for the ruby-crystal based fibre-optic and a scheduled auto sampler upgrade.
