New Large Capacity Microwave Platform System Introduced

Analytical instrumentation supplier Analytix is bringing the new Milestone flexiWAVE, the largest capacity microwave reactor currently available, to the UK market.

The new Milestone flexiWAVE has been designed to overcome the limitations of conventional microwave synthesis devices. It consists of a single microwave platform that, in combination with specific accessories, allows chemists to perform classic glassware and high-pressure synthesis, as well as solid-phase reactions.

It has a microwave cavity has a volume in excess of 70 litres, the largest currently available, along with 1900 Watt power, making it the most powerful microwave platform system available for organic and inorganic synthesis.

flexiWAVE also allows for a number of different setups, including: Classic Glassware, which provides the suitable apparatus for a full reaction optimisation, for research or teaching purposes; the High-Pressure setup, capable of replacing reflux devices, moving from high boiling solvents to low boiling solvents; or the Solid-Phase set up which offers the unique capability to physically rotate the reaction vessel.

The flexiWAVE is controlled via a compact terminal with an easy-to-read, bright, full colour, touchscreen display. The terminal is provided with multiple USB and Ethernet ports for interfacing the instrument to external devices and to the local laboratory network.
