Biotage unveils Initiator+ microwave synthesiser
Biotage
Initiator+ microwave synthesiser
Biotage has introduced the Initator+, a microwave synthesiser that is designed for chemistry professionals who need to enable difficult reactions or to improve yields on critical reaction steps.
The system features a simple and intuitive interface, an integrated computer control system and a large touchscreen, allowing the user to drive reactions to as high as 300C and up to 30 bar pressure.
The Initiator+ also offers an option for the use of a fibre-optic temperature measurement device for in situ reaction monitoring.
The expanded pressure range of up to 30 bar allows for increased flexibility in the choice of solvents.
Low-boiling-point solvents can now be utilised at higher temperatures and reactions performed at maximum speed to achieve best possible yield with higher pressure.
The Initiator+ was developed as an upgradeable platform with automation options readily available.
Users can connect the SP Wave peptide synthesis module and the Robot Eight kit to perform microwave-assisted peptide synthesis with vortex mixing.
The Initator+ can perform traditional organic synthesis as well as peptide and peptidomimetics research.
