Biotage® (STO: BIOT), a leading supplier of tools and
technology for analytical, medicinal, and peptide chemistry, introduced an
innovative, new instrument for peptide professionals at the 2011 American
Peptide Symposium in San Diego, California USA.
The Biotage Initiator+ SP Wave is a versatile synthesis solution as it can be
used as a standalone peptide synthesizer or easily converted to a high
specification MAOS system. It is the ideal development tool for chemists
synthesizing peptides, peptidomimetics and small molecules using single or
multi-step procedures.
The Initiator+ SP Wave is perfectly suited for the small scale synthesis of
peptides and peptidomimetics including PNA using microwave irradiation, from a
scale as low as 5 µmol. The semi-automated operation can reduce the consumption
and waste of expensive reagents which occur in other systems due to priming or
use of large dead volumes.
The Initiator+ SP Wave is a semi-automated, programmable synthesis system. It
includes a large 10” touch screen, intuitive software, pre- or self-defined
methods, inert gas capability, vortex and magnetic stirring.
“As the global leader in the development of technology for peptide synthesis,
Biotage continues to develop tools for professionals demanding excellent
purity, reliability and high yield.” says Toshiyuki Yachi, Vice President of
Marketing. “With the recent introduction of the Initiator Peptide Workstation
and Syro Wave, Biotage now offers a manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic
peptide synthesis solution including resins and HPLC columns. Biotage is
clearly the dedicated leader in providing solutions for peptide professionals.”
Biotage is the only manufacturer of traditional, room temperature peptide
synthesizers as well as microwave peptide synthesizers in both entry-level and
high throughput configurations. For more information on the Biotage Initiator+
SP Wave system, please email product_info@biotage.com or visit
