Initiator™ Eight
      
I8_product page         


The safe, multi-user microwave synthesizer that supports automated method development, analog and multi-gram synthesis.


Compact footprint

The Initiator is 50% smaller than its predecessor, fitting easily into any standard fume hood space.

Touch logic control
Load and run your samples using a touch screen monitor for simple and intuitive navigation without the need for an external computer, keyboard or mouse.

0.2 to 20 mL without system modifications
With the EXP function, use four different vial sizes in any order or combination at any time without system modifications for greater flexibility and direct scale-up of milligrams to grams.

8-position sample bed
The 8-position sample bed provides automation to medicinal chemists for rapid optimization of reaction conditions and analog synthesis. The ability to use both large and small vials provides the medicinal chemist flexibility and the ability to rapidly scale-up compounds of interest.

Modular design
Easily upgrade from a single-sample manual format to an automated 60-position system.

Enhanced heating performance
The new single-mode applicator with the proven Dynamic Field Tuning™ feature offers faster heating of a broader range of solvents.

Best-in-class safety
All Biotage microwave synthesizers are designed for safe operation at elevated temperatures and pressures. The Initiator triple-tier safety lock feature ensures maximum operator safety at all times.
