Accuracy
iWave - IR That Sees Through Glass and Teflon
For the first time, a single-mode microwave synthesizer reactor utilizing iWave, an intelligent IR sensor that can see through glass and Teflon and measures the temperature of your sample NOT the vessel! Based on new technology this powerful update eliminates the need for costly and fragile internal fiber-optic probes while providing the most accurate and responsive temperature measurement available.
Safety
Activent — Safe, Pressurized Reactions
The Discover 2.0 patented pressure management technology is the latest advance in automated pressure control and the safest way to perform pressurized reactions. This system automatically relieves gaseous byproducts as they form during the reaction, venting safely through exhaust tubing at the back of the system. This significantly reduces vial failures and allows your reactions to reach higher temperatures while requiring only an easy-to-use snap on cap without the need for crimping tools.
Vessels
Use The Widest Range of Sealed Vessels Available
Discover 2.0 offers the widest range of high-temperature, high-pressure sealed reaction vessels, standard. Perform pressurized reactions in either 10, 35, or 100 mL vials. Alternatively, run non-pressurized, open vessel reactions in standard laboratory glassware up to a 125 mL round-bottom flask. If your chemistry etches glass (HF or strong inorganic bases), use a silicon carbide vessel or even disposable Teflon®liners to get the best results.
Integrated Camera
Observe Your Reaction
The optional 5 megapixel camera can be used to record still images or video footage of reactions. Observation is a basic part of science, and this is the perfect tool for documentation and publication support.View Technical Data
Software
Intuitive Software For Any Chemist
Create Microwave Methods Directly from Literature
Method programming takes only seconds with the integrated conventional-to-microwave converter. Any standard literature preparation can be automatically changed to a microwave reaction in only a few clicks.

Accessories
Customize your Discover 2.0
Customize your system to fit your chemistry needs.
Autosampler
Set up multiple reactions to run overnight with the 12- or 48- place autosampler. Both autosamplers can accommodate the 10 and 35 mL sealed vessels.Learn more
Gas Addition Kit
The Gas Addition accessory is the only system specially designed for a single-mode microwave reactor with gaseous reagents. Perform hydrogenations, carbonylations, or other reactions with gaseous reagents or simply use the vessel to ensure an inert atmosphere during microwave irradiation.Learn more
Flow Cells
Increase your reaction throughput with the 10 and 80 mL continuous flow cells.Learn more
