Biotage at Analytica 2006

Biotage launches exciting new products at Analytica, the Initiator 2.0 Microwave Synthesizer, the SP System EXP Flash Purification and the V-10 Evaporation system.

New Initiator 2.0 Microwave Synthesizer

The new Initiator 2.0 is the next generation of microwave synthesizer from Biotage. A more powerful (400w) magnetron delivers the most precise heating control of any microwave synthesis instrument on the market. Chemists can easily share methods and results either through a USB port (memory stick) or remote network connection. All Initiators use a built-in computer and touch-screen interface eliminating the additional cost and hassle of an external computer. New software includes a wizard that guides users through set-up and automatically converts conventional parameters to microwave conditions. Initiator 2.0 is the easiest, safest and most powerful microwave synthesizer available. Visit Hall A1, Stand 425 Analytica for more information.

New SP System EXP Flash Purification

Get 4x the power with the new Swedish-engineered Biotage SP4 system. Operating at pressures up to 100 psi, this system is the fastest automated flash chromatography system on the market. Purify sample loads from milligrams (FLASH 12+, 4.5 g silica) to tens of grams (FLASH 75™, 800g silica) using only one system. New Touch Logic Control™ is a touch screen interface with custom designed intuitive software that offers unique features such as TLC-to-gradient and Auto-continue sample protection. Expanded fraction capacity collects up to 5.8 L with a minimum of 24 fractions per run. Visit Hall A1, Stand 425 Analytica for more information.

NEW V-10 Evaporation system

Revolutionary Vortex and vacuum evaporation system quickly and safely evaporates both aqueous and organic solvents with boiling points from 30 to 160°C up to 40x faster than traditional rotary or centrifugal evaporators. Simple, touch pad operation provides ease-of-use and application flexibility. Choose a preprogrammed evaporation method tailored for specific solvent or sample types (volatile, hi boiler, HPLC fraction, etc.) or create your own method. Automated features include precise temperature control and automated end-of-run detection. The V-10’s versatility enables evaporation of single samples (up to 12 mL) or large pooled volumes using an aspirator, multiple samples distributed across multiple vessels using a liquid handling robot or samples received directly from an HPLC sample loop, leaving solvent-free product in the vial.
