Microwave Vials

(Left to Right) 0.2-0.5 mL (only with EXP systems), 0.5-2 mL, 2-5 mL, 10-20 mL (only with EXP systems)

Migrate from mg to g without reoptimization

Biotage^® high precision microwave vials are engineered for durability and safe reactions. All vials are designed to withstand pressures beyond 30 bar, and in a wide range of conditions.

Simplicity
Simplicity is one of the benefits of modern microwave equipment. Reactions are performed in glass vials sealed with caps and heated in the microwave cavity. Chemists can quickly analyze reactions by sampling through a septum. Biotage Microwave Vials are designed to support microwave synthesis from mg to g without the need for reoptimization. With the Initiator™ EXP system, methods that are run at a lower volume are directly transferrable across the entire volume range of 0.2-20 mL.

Magnetic Stir Bars
The reaction mixture is continuously stirred by magnetic stirring during the heating process promoting even heating throughout.

Optimum Vial Sizes
Each Biotage Microwave Vial has been designed for safe and efficient heating within its specified volume range. Together, the four vial types provide full scalability within the volume range of 0.2-20 mL.

Multi-Gram Scale
Migrate directly to multi-gram scale without reoptimization using the 10-20 mL vials. These larger vials can also be used for preparation of scaffolds and intermediates or for generating larger quantities of active compounds for testing.

Benefits:

• All Biotage Microwave Vials withstand pressures of 30 bars (ca 300 psi).
• With the Reseal™ design, the septum can be resealed after it has been penetrated, allowing repeated additions of reagents or in-situ sampling.
• Manufactured from contaminant free microwave-safe glass.
• Magnetic stirring promotes even temperature distribution throughout the entire reaction mixture, including heterogeneous mixtures.
• Available in four sizes: 0.2-0.5 mL, 0.5-2.0 mL, 2.0-5.0 mL and 10-20 mL.
