The Initiator+ SP Wave microwave peptide synthesiser from Biotage is a development tool for chemists synthesising peptides, peptidomimetics and small molecules using single or multi-step procedures.
The instrument can be used as a standalone peptide synthesiser or easily converted to a high-specification MAOS system.
The Initiator+ SP Wave is suitable for the small-scale synthesis of peptides and peptidomimetics including PNA using microwave irradiation from a scale as low as 5umol.
The semi-automated operation can reduce the consumption and waste of expensive reagents that occur in other systems due to priming or use of large dead volumes.
The Initiator+ SP Wave is a semi-automated, programmable synthesis system.
It includes a 10in touchscreen, intuitive software, pre- or self-defined methods, inert gas capability, vortex and magnetic stirring.
