Timeless Glassware
The flexiWAVE is a highly versatile microwave platform designed to accommodate commonly used glassware. This approach provides exceptional adaptability, making the system suitable for a wide range of applications. The Timeless Glassware configuration, for instance, is ideal for comprehensive reaction optimization in research or educational settings. This innovative setup enables chemists to perform synthetic reactions under reflux conditions, rapidly enhancing traditional chemical processes conducted with hot plates, heating mantles, or oil baths through the integration of microwave technology.
High-Pressure
Stubborn reactions, typically carried out in reflux with high-boiling solvents like xylenes, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and N-methyl pyrrolidone, present challenges during workup, especially with increased reaction scale. The High-Pressure setup offers a solution by replacing traditional reflux devices, shifting from high-boiling to low-boiling solvents. This setup allows high-temperature reactions (up to 300 °C) with efficient temperature control using the easyTEMP sensor. Well-documented benefits include streamlined workup procedures and improved product purity. With the capacity for up to 15 high-pressure vessels concurrently, parallel synthesis becomes a viable and efficient choice.
Solid-Phase
The Solid-Phase setup addresses challenges in heating and stirring heterogeneous mixtures, thick media, and solid-phase systems with conventional microwave instruments. Its innovative design includes the physical rotation of the reaction vessel for homogeneous heating, aided by a contact-less infrared sensor. The setup operates in normal atmosphere, inert gas, and vacuum, serving various processes like material functionalization, polycondensation, coating, and natural oil dehydration, making it a valuable tool for diverse chemical processes.
