Microwave synthesis systems with maximum efficiency

The best-selling Discover® line of microwave synthesis systems is built upon CEM’s Focused™ Microwave Technology featuring a unique, single-mode cavity designed to automatically focus microwave energy with maximum efficiency regardless of the physical properties of the reaction. With the largest single-mode cavity on the market, Discover not only accommodates pressurized vessels of various sizes, but also offers the unmatched flexibility to perform atmospheric reactions in standard glassware, up to a 125-mL round-bottom flask. The new Synergy™ software and onboard controls make it the easiest-to-use microwave synthesis system on the market, even for those who have little or no experience with microwave technology in the laboratory.

CEM first introduced the concept of modular microwave synthesis systems several years ago and we have continued to develop options and accessories for the Discover platform to help chemists fully explore their ideas. We offer a full range of modular options and accessories for automation, scale up, low-temperature chemistries, and applications in biosciences.

Research scale manual systems in the Discover series consist of the ResearchMate, BenchMate, LabMate, and the new S-Class. These single-mode microwave synthesis systems are used for research in the fields of drug discovery, small molecule synthesis, polymer synthesis, materials synthesis, agrochemical research, and petrochemical research

The Explorer^® Series is based on the Discover platform and CEM’s signature modular design. The Discover Systems can be upgraded to the Explorer Systems to allow increased functionality and higher throughput.

The new Explorer accommodates 4-, 10-, and 35-mL vials, which the system processes seamlessly. Explorer is the first automated microwave synthesis system to use an intelligent rack design that allows the autosampler to recognize which size racks are placed on the deck and where. The system then configures the deck map in the new Synergy software automatically for the user. Explorer even allows you to run different sized vials on the same deck in any rack combination.

Load your reactions and go. It’s that simple!
