The MARS™ 6 Synthesis from CEM is a multi-mode microwave system that provides parallel reaction processing under homogenous conditions. A complete set of 36 vessels can be completed in just 30 minutes, making this a perfect instrument for larger throughput applications.
The MARS 6 Synthesis not only offers high throughput for larger laboratories but also has the flexibility to run batch syntheses, with the ability to house up to a 5 L open flask, or several pressurized vessels.
Features
- High-resolution touchscreen equipped with speakers (laptop or external controller is not required)
- Uniquely designed cavity and waveguides guarantee an even distribution of microwave energy, without the necessity for a mode stirrer
- Large microwave cavity enables the widest range of reaction vessels
- Delivers 1800 W energy for quick heating of reactions (irrespective of the number of vessels present in the cavity)
Why Should I Use a Microwave?

Microwave has become a powerful tool for chemical synthesis in both academia and industry. In contrast to standard means of synthesis, the benefits of heating with a microwave are:
- Higher yields
- Enhanced purity
- Better reproducibility
- Quicker reaction times
- Improved reaction control
