Biotage Releases Initiator 2.5 Microwave Synthesizer for Improved Performance and Results

The Initiator 2.5 from Biotage offers increased heating performance, system guided run set-up and improved data management. The Biotage Initiator 2.5 system features 400 watts of power to deliver the most precise heating control of any microwave synthesis instrument on the market. Unlike other microwave synthesizers the new Initiator 2.5 allows chemists to easily share methods and results either through a USB port or network. With a built-in computer and intuitive software that automatically converts conventional parameters to microwave conditions the Initiator 2.5 is the easiest and safest microwave synthesizer available.

With improved heating performance and reaction time, Biotage’s Initiator 2.5 offers increased run time. The system is capable of heating a single sample for up to 96 hours compared with traditional systems that offer a maximum of 24 hours heating time. The unique Initiator system is built on a reliable and robust platform that provides minimal downtime. In addition, the system is easy-to-use with a Wizard that guides new users through the programming of the instrument. Additionally the Initiator offers total automation with an 8-position and 60-position robot for rapid optimization of reaction conditions and analog synthesis. The initiator offers the ability to use both large and small vials to facilitate the scale-up of compounds of interest.

The Initiator 2.5 system also includes a number of features increasing options for data management and connectivity, including the addition of a USB port at the front of the system, Post-Script printer capabilities, integration with Electronic Laboratory Notebooks and easy e-mailing of results.
