Speed up your efficiency and boost your lab throughput with the power of microwaves.

Despite advances in technology, cleavage and deprotection can bottleneck your lab's productivity.
The Milestone wavePREP system redefines oligonucleotide processing by combining microwave heating with a robust stainless-steel reactor for precise temperature control.
By conducting cleavage and deprotection simultaneously in the gas phase, wavePREP cuts down the steps needed, bypassing the evaporation process, boosting yields, and enhancing your oligo discovery process and scaling up to manufacturing.

wavePREP

AUTOMATED LOADING/ DRAINING STATION

The system features a dedicated pump designed for the automated addition and drainage of reagents. This eliminates the need for direct operator exposure to chemicals, as the process is controlled by software and performed automatically.

HOLDERS

Available for different supports such as well plates and columns, the holders offer maximum flexibility to meet any requirement.

TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE SENSOR

The yield of oligos production greatly depends on the cleavage and deprotection processes. The precise temperature and pressure sensors ensure optimal control of the reaction procedure, resulting in maximized yields.

STAINLESS-STEEL CHAMBER

The reactions occur within a sealed stainlesssteel reactor, providing secure handling of pressure throughout the process.

USER INTERFACE

The user interface allows for complete control and tracking of all reaction parameters and functionalities. It is designed in full compliance with GMP regulations, ensuring adherence to quality standards.

A strategy to minimize the risk of harmful, volatile solvents exposure of operators.

Enhance safety in your lab

A strategy to minimise the risk of operator exposure to harmful volatile solvents.
The oligonucleotide cleavage and deprotection (C&D) laboratory environment can pose significant challenges to operators, with exposure to harmful volatile solvents being a major concern. Any strategy to minimise this risk is not only desirable but essential.
That's where wavePREP comes in. It offers superior operational safety with a range of integrated features designed to protect operators:

Full control over process parameters
Built-in software and hardware safety features
Leak-proof reactor design
Leak-preventing reactor design
pumpSTATION, an accessory for reagent handling
Use of liquid reagents instead of ammonia or methylamine gas cylinders
High versatility for an easy implementation
Fast and Automated

FAST
AND AUTOMATED

wavePREP enables simultaneous oligonucleotide cleavage and deprotection in as little as 90 minutes, saving up to 95% of time compared to traditional methods. The system significantly improves the efficiency of the laboratory workflow by automating and software controlling various steps, including the lowering of well plates into the reactor, reagent addition, chamber draining and venting. With wavePREP, laboratories can achieve faster and more streamlined processes, optimising productivity.
High Productivity

HIGH
PRODUCTIVITY

The combination of shorter processing time and higher yields achieved with wavePREP results in superior productivity. This versatile system can be used with well plates OR columns to accommodate various needs. With its flexible configurations and large reactor capacity, wavePREP can process up to 6 well plates in just 90 minutes. Furthermore, there is no need to perform an evaporation step after wavePREP C&D, shorteing even more the overall process lenght.
Product Yields

PRODUCT
YIELDS

The conventional postsynthesis approach involves multiple critical steps to achieve superior yields. However, the wavePREP approach eliminates some of these crucial steps and operates within a controlled environment. By doing so, it ensures significantly higher yields compared to traditional approaches. With wavePREP, laboratories can expect improved efficiency and increased productivity, leading to enhanced overall product yields.
Superior Safety

SUPERIOR
SAFETY

wavePREP prioritizes operational safety through its robust stainless-steel reactor and adherence to the highest manufacturing standards. The system's workflow, facilitated by the automated pump, eliminates the need for direct handling of chemicals, minimizing operator exposure. The temperature and pressure sensors ensure a fully controlled process, further enhancing safety measures. An added benefit is the elimination of the reagents evaporation step, leading to an improvement of the work environment.
