Microwave Reaction System for Synthesis: Multiwave PRO
The Multiwave PRO platform serves two groups: professionals in synthetic chemistry and trace analysis. This brochure focuses on the use of Multiwave PRO as a microwave reaction system for parallel synthesis. Multiwave PRO serves method development or a large instrument for the multigram scale. You can upgrade the system to cover different scales at any time by just adding rotors. The combination of sealed vessel technology with reaction conditions beyond the boiling point of the applied solvent significantly reduces the reaction time.
  1. Features
  2. Specification
 Multiwave PRO has an on-board PC which provides an intuitive and multilingual state-of–the art software solution. Its large color touchscreen enables convenient operation and is easy to read from a distance.
 
With its diverse rotor types Multiwave PRO serves all scales from milligram to multigram synthesis in chemical laboratories. For your special needs in parallel synthesis Anton Paar offers a family of high-throughput rotors in plate format together with well-established scale-up rotors.
 
Applications related to drug development, proteomics, forensics and similar research areas predominantly deal with small quantities. A range of small-scale high-throughput rotors for Multiwave PRO perfectly match the requirements of microwave-assisted parallel method development.
