Rapidly synthesize high quality peptides using microwave irradiation. A cost effective and versatile accessory for manual microwave peptide synthesis and cleavage when used with a Biotage® Initiator+ microwave synthesizer.
Benefits
Microwave Peptide Vials
The microwave peptide vial is available in two different sizes; 2-5 mL for 75-150 µmol scale or 10-20 mL for 250-500 µmol scale (depending on resin loading). The complete vial is easily assembled and consists of a glass vial, HDPE frit, check valve and snap cap with septum.
Wash Station
The wash station consists of a specially designed height adjustable vacuum head on a stand. When connected to a vacuum pump, this allows the microwave peptide vial to be easily emptied when positioned on the vacuum head. Material can be collected in a standard GL 45 laboratory glass bottle, 50 mL centrifuge tube or even a round bottom flask.
Economically Synthesize Difficult Sequences
Use microwave irradiation and standard reagents to synthesize difficult sequences that are problematic or even impossible to synthesize using standard methods.
Faster Synthesis
Reduce cycle times by using microwave irradiation and fast manual washing and emptying.
Versatile
Allows solution and solid phase peptide synthesis, cleavage of peptides and post-synthetic modification of peptides using microwave irradiation.
The Workstation can also be used to perform other types of chemistry, e.g. organic, PNA and peptoid synthesis.
Reduce Costs
When using expensive reagents you can manually add the exact amount of reagent while minimizing waste and costs.
