Microwave synthesizer – Discover SP

Location: Thin Film Lab
Responsible: Ana Pimentel
 
Description:
Microwave technology has become a common tool for chemical synthesis both in academia and industry. Compared to conventional means of synthesis, the advantages of heating with a microwave include: faster reaction times, improved purity, greater yields, better reproducibility, and enhanced reaction control.
