Single-mode and Multi-mode Technology

The Milestone MultiSYNTH combines all the inherent advantages of single-mode microwave technology, such as the capability to efficiently process small reaction volumes with fast heating, with all the benefits of multi-mode cavities, such as the ability to scale-up reactions using a parallel format, with complete reproducibility.

• MultiSYNTH with Single-mode set-up: in the single-mode set-up, a single vessel is directly positioned in a dedicated single-mode position, in correspondence to the highest energy intensity of the microwave irradiation.
• MultiSYNTH with Multi-mode set-up: in the multi-mode set-up, a carousel rotates in the microwave cavity, ensuring fast and homogeneous heating of all reaction vessels.

Exclusive Vessel Shaking System

In traditional single-mode microwave systems, the reaction vial is located inside the microwave waveguide. The position of the vial is very critical, as the microwave intensity varies from 0 to 100% within a width of 30 mm. As a result, temperature may be uneven, particularly for larger scale reaction and with heterogeneous mixtures.
With the Milestone MultiSYNTH, this inherent limitation of single-mode units is overcome by a unique ‘mix-and-shake’ device. The vial is mechanically shaken during the course of the reaction, to prevent hot spots and to homogenize both temperature and reaction mixture.
