Milestone flexiWAVE - Advanced Flexible Microwave Synthesis Platform
The new Milestone flexiWAVE overcomes the limitation of conventional microwave synthesis reactors, as it consists of a single microwave platform that, in combination with specific accessories, allows the chemists to perform classic glassware and high pressure synthesis, as well as solid-phase reactions.
Complete your reactions in minutes instead of hours!
The Milestone flexiWAVE isn’t just flexible, it’s the most powerful system for high pressure and classic glassware synthesis on the market, thus offering functionality of first-class solid phase reactor.
Milestone technical and application 30-year expertise offers guidelines to design and optimize synthetic protocols as well as scaling up to multi-gram production.
Today flexiWAVE for microwave assisted synthesis has become a cutting-edge technology across the pharmaceutical, biotech, polymers, fine and agro-chemical industries, with thousands of units installed worldwide. List of advantages includes:
-
Enhanced selectivity
-
Improved yields
-
Lower by-products formation and sample contamination
-
Reduced energy consumption
-
Reduced quantity of sample/chemicals (“atom economy”)
The flexiWAVE`s microwave cavity has a volume in excess of 70 litres, by far the largest currently available. A large cavity allows the chemist to easily configure many different reactions setup in a very flexible environment. Starting from the classic synthesis glassware moving to high-pressure vessels working -alone or in parallel configuration, a large cavity is also fundamental to perform solid phase synthesis tasks.
The most advanced yet easy to use reaction sensors enable the complete control of the reaction process. Temperature can be monitored by fiber optic and infrared sensors. When performing parallel reactions, a contact-less sensor is used to control each and every vessel, and the actual temperature values are shown on the instrument control terminal, allowing an instant visual check of the reaction conditions.
The flexiWAVE is equipped with two 950 Watt magnetrons for a total of 1900 Watt making it the most powerful microwave platform system available for organic and inorganic synthesis.
The system employs a rotating diffuser that evenly distributes the microwaves throughout the cavity. High power coupled with the diffuser enables very fast and homogeneous heating of samples.
The flexiWAVE actually acts as a relatively small fume hood, as it incorporates a powerful exhaust system, which cools the outer surface of the reactors and provides a safe and efficient removal of vapors from the microwave cavity.
A magnetic stirrer is built-in in the flexiWAVE system. It is designed to ensure vigorous stirring of the solutions in all vessels, independently on their position in the cavity, thus assuring reliable and consistent results.
While other manufacturers use molded plastic, Milestone uses 18/8 stainless steel construction throughout which creates the most durable, reliable, and safe microwave system available.
