Initiator Eight

The safe, multi-user microwave synthesizer that supports automated method development, analog and multi-gram synthesis.

Compact footprint
The Initiator is 50% smaller than its predecessor, fitting easily into any standard fume hood space.

Touch logic control
Load and run your samples using a touch screen monitor for simple and intuitive navigation without the need for an external computer, keyboard or mouse.

0.2 to 20 mL without system modifications
With the EXP function, use four different vial sizes in any order or combination at any time without system modifications for greater flexibility and direct scale-up of milligrams to grams.

8-position sample bed
