Microwave System Facilitates Highly Reactive Species

The Discover CoolMate microwave system performs sub-ambient temperature chemistries and is an extension to the Discover line of Focused Microwave Synthesis instrumentation for the life sciences industry. This system performs temperature-sensitive reactions, including carbohydrate chemistry, the formation of carbanions, and other highly reactive intermediates. It also allows the safe use of highly reactive species, which would normally be excluded when using a microwave system. The system's proprietary, jacketed, low-temperature vessel and cooling technology keep the bulk temperature of the reactants low, preventing thermal degradation of the product while microwave energy drives the reaction kinetically. Temperature measurement is accomplished with an in situ fiber-optic probe to ensure accurate reaction feedback control.
