MICROWAVE SYSTEMS: MILESTONE INC.

Milestone Inc. provides a broad line of microwave-based systems for combinatorial synthesis, parallel synthesis, scale-up synthesis, and process development.

MicroSYNTH Labstation

For for microwave organic synthesis Milestone has available the Ethos MicroSYNTH Labstation.

This system provides the platform for different R&D sysnthesis projects, it can accommodate reaction vessels from 250 µL to 1.2 liters, provides stirring, and monitors the temperature and pressure of individual reaction vessels.

For more information on the Ethos MicroSYNTH Labstation click here.

For combinatorial chemistry applications Milestone offers the combiCHEM reactor system. This system, designed to work with the Ethos MicroSYNTH Labstation, can accommodate glass vials in Milestone's proprietary microwave absorbing Weflon-made (Weflon = carbon-impregnated Teflon) multi-well plates (96, 48, or 24 formats), can stack the Weflon plates for higher throughput, rotates to allow homogeneous sample irradiation and sample mixing, and it can control reaction temperatures up to 150°C.

For parallel synthesis Milestone has available rotors in different array formats:

  • The PRO-6 rotor. This rotor can accommodate up to 6 12-mL or 50-mL glass or quartz
    reaction vessels to carry reactions up to 180 °C and a pressure of up to 15 bar (225 psi).
  • The PRO-16 rotor. This rotor can accommodate 16 or 24 70-mL glass or quartz
    reaction vessels to carry reactions up to 200 °C and a pressure of up to 20 bar (290 psi).
  • The High-Pressure 100 mL rotor. This rotor can accommodate 10 100-mL glass or quartz
    reaction vessels to carry reactions up to 300 °C and a pressure of up to 100 bar (1500 psi).

Med Chem Kits

To minimize bottlenecks in the labs, Milestone also offers Med Chem Kits which include 12-mL, 50-mL, 100-mL, and 270-mL reaction vessels and sample processing tools to cary out individual reactions to be worked up conveniently at the medchem's workbench.
