- New iWave®temperature control system
- Larger 100 mL reaction vessel
- Completely new software system with built-in video monitoring
The Discover 2.0 also features a new, larger 100 mL glass reaction vessel, not previously available. This is the largest reaction vessel available for a single-mode microwave synthesizer and can be used with a simple snap-on cap, similar to the 10 and 35 mL vessels also standard to the system. All vessels used on the Discover 2.0 can be visually monitored with a built-in camera on a 10.1" touchscreen. Additionally, the systems Activent®pressure management incorporates automatic venting to control over-pressurization during any run. A complete line of accessories is available for use with the Discover 2.0. These include auto-samplers for running up to 48 reactions, a gaseous reagent system, a sub-ambient temperature system, a continuous flow capability, and liquid handling for peptide synthesis. This makes the Discover 2.0 platform not only the most advanced system on the market, but also the most flexible, with its ability to be adapted to meet specific needs.
Microwave synthesis continues to provide unique benefits for synthetic chemistry in terms of speed, reaction efficiency, and promotion of green chemistry principles. These arise from the unique ability of microwaves to directly heat polar/ionic species in a reaction. The selective heating capability of microwave irradiation may also further enhance certain reactions, particularly in nanotechnology and materials science applications.
