The Biotage Initiator⁺ represents a new generation of instruments for organic, medicinal, materials, nano and polymer chemistry professionals. It is an upgradeable and reliable platform for chemists to make great discoveries.

The Biotage Initiator+ is a flexible system that utilizes all Biotage vials, from 0.2 to 20 mL, in any order or combination, at any time without system modifications, delivering greater flexibility and direct scale-up from milligrams to grams. Biotage Initiator+ can also be upgraded with automation solutions to achieve higher throughput to save time and cost.

Flexibility
Higher temperatures and pressures of up to 300 °C and 30 bar open new possibilities to perform difficult reactions. This allows for more flexibility in choosing a solvent. Even low boiling point solvents can now be run at higher temperatures. Using “Regulate on pressure” enables the reaction to reach highest possible temperature during the run. With the addition of the optional fiber optic probe, it is possible to measure the reaction temperature inside the vial for a higher degree of control.

Upgradable
Upgrade from an Biotage Initiator⁺ by connecting the SP Wave peptide synthesis module and the Robot Eight kit to perform microwave assisted peptide synthesis with vortex mixing to ensure homogeneous heat distribution.

Easy to operate
The large touch screen display provides an easy-to-use experience from set-up to results. By using the Biotage Wizard, the user is guided through the set-up of experiments step-by-step. It also includes assistance in converting conventional conditions to microwave synthesis parameters.

Modular
The modular design allows a user to add on different automated sample processors dependent on throughput requirements.

Safe
The reaction vessel is secured with a triple-tier safety lock to ensure maximum operator safety at all times. This in combination with high grade aluminum and a safe explosion box ensures maximum operator safety, even at high temperature and pressure.

Specifications
