The Game Changer in Microwave Assisted Synthesis
The Milestone synthWAVE is designed for safe, reliable and reproducible scale-up of microwave enhanced chemical reactions. The synthWAVE is capable of higher temperature and pressure than any other microwave reactors.
Unique technology
for high pressure capabilities
Milestone synthWAVE features the unmatched Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) patented technology that ensures scale, reaction screening, highest temperature and pressure. It is able to handle single or multiple reactions at temperatures up to 300 °C and pressures up to 199 bar.
Incredibly easy to use, the synthWAVE with SRC technology allows the chemist to run large-scale batch and parallel reactions like never before. Small-scale synthesis methods are easily transferred to the SynthWAVE.

SRC Technology
Milestone’s unique Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology overcomes the limitations of current microwave synthesis instrumentation. A PTFE lined, 1 L stainless steel reaction chamber serves also as microwave cavity. The design of the microwave source perfectly match the cavity shape for optimum microwave distribution and fast, even heating. The chamber is prepressurized with gas to prevent boiling of the solution, and is equipped with mechanical and magnetic stirrers. The microwave cavity is water cooled, which greatly reduces reaction cooling time and increases productivity.
Safety
Like all Milestone products, the synthWAVE has been designed with operator safety of paramount importance. A thick acrylic shield surrounds the work area, and it lowers into position automatically as the chamber is closed. A microwave run cannot be started unless the chamber clamp is in position, and the clamp cannot be released until the chamber is cool, and pressure has been released. The PID controller continuously monitors temperature and pressure, instantaneously adjusting microwave power to control even highly exothermic reactions.
Rack and Vials
Reactions can be carried out directly in the 1L PTFE vessel, or in multiple vials. Vials are available in glass (disposable), quartz or PTFE, fitted with loose PTFE caps to ensure pressure equalization. Available rack configurations include 4, 5, 15 and 22 positions. The synthWAVE sample racks fit easily on a balance, so reagents can be weighed directly into vials already loaded into a rack. No vessel assembly or disassembly is required, and with the disposable glass vials, no cleaning step is needed, greatly increasing work efficiency
Faster Screening
Multiple reactions are carried out simultaneously under exactly the same temperature and pressure conditions - even using different solvents. Quickly and easily evaluation of different catalysts, solvents and reaction conditions.
Operate in Modified Conditions
Simply add an inert gas to achieve an inert environment. Add hydrogen or oxygen to produce a reducing or oxidizing atmosphere respectively. Speed up reactions with gas molecule insertion using gases such as CO or CO2.
EasyCONTROL Operating Software
synthWAVE is controlled via a compact terminal with an easy-to-read, bright, fullcolour, touchscreen display. The terminal is provided with multiple USB and Ethernet ports for interfacing the instrument to external devices and to the local laboratory network.
The terminal runs a completely new user-friendly, icon-driven, multi-language software to provide easy control of the microwave run. Simply recall a previously stored method or create a new one, press ‘START’ and the system will automatically follow the user defined temperature utilizing a sophisticated PID algorithm. Furthermore, all reaction parameters can be modify “on-the-fly”, thus assuring the highest flexibility of operation.
