Microwave technology
|
|
Synthos 3000 delivers 1400 W of continuous, unpulsed microwave power via two magnetrons, therefore ensuring a highly homogeneous microwave field. This enables effective heating rates for large reaction volumes and optimum reproducibility for any synthesis.

Efficient stirring
|
|
Sufficient mixing is essential for organic syntheses, especially on a large scale. Synthos 3000 has a powerful magnetic stirrer which provides for efficient mixing in every single reaction vessel and therefore ensures:
- Higher conversion rates
- Improved yield
- Shorter reaction times
- Simplified work-up of products

High performance rotors
|
|
The rotors used in Synthos 3000 are specially designed for high pressure applications. Their high safety standards allow for the development of even the most difficult reactions. Temperatures up to 300 °C and pressures up to 80 bar open new dimensions in chemical processing.
|
| |
Fast reactions
|
|
Employing higher temperatures leads to drastically reduced reaction times and the efficiency of the synthesis can be significantly increased. Development which usually requires days or weeks can now be completed in hours as the individual reaction steps only take a few minutes.

Reliable safety concept
|
|
Using chemicals in the microwave field always involves risk, especially with large volumes. The reliable safety system of the Synthos 3000 has multiple step, active and passive protection elements which minimize the dangers of spontaneous reactions. This guarantees the highest level of safety for the user at any time.
