Microwave reactor CEM discover SP
Device description:
The microwave reactor is designed for performing chemical reactions using microwave radiation instead of traditional convective heating sources. It employs a magnetron with a power output of up to 300 W, ensuring rapid and uniform heating. The reactor allows chemical reactions to be carried out at temperatures up to 300 °C and is suitable for both open and closed systems, with the latter reaching pressures of up to 300 psi. Cooling of reaction mixtures and temperature regulation are facilitated by an air stream from a compressor. An infrared thermometer measures the reaction mixture temperature in real-time.
Key features:
- Enables chemical reactions in closed 10 ml or 35 ml tubes at pressures up to 300 psi, allowing heating above the solvent’s boiling point.
- Supports chemical reactions in borosilicate round-bottom flasks with volumes up to 125 ml at atmospheric pressure.
- Offers precise control over temperature, pressure, and power, allowing optimization of reaction conditions for specific applications.
