Welcome to our Biotage PathFinder Web Service
Click here for a short Guided Tour! (will open in new window)
Biotage PathFinder is today the largest and most comprehensive database of verified methods for microwave synthesis. To ensure easy access to microwave synthesis methods and knowledge support for everyone, we give you Biotage PathFinder as a web service.
The database will continuously grow with frequent updates and we will also extend the options and service items on this site. The Biotage PathFinder Web Service is a step on the journey that aims at making this web site the primary information and knowledge source for all chemists working with and interested in microwave synthesis.
The Biotage PathFinder Web Service comprises the following:
- Biotage PathFinder: Find experimental conditions in the world's largest microwave reaction database that will help you in your work.
- Microwave Cookbook: Browse a selection of popular reactions from Biotage PathFinder.
- Ask-a-Chemist: Communicate directly with our support chemists.
- Vapour Pressure Calculator: Automatic calculation of vapour pressure for common solvents.
Biotage PathFinder in a nutshell:
- A database focused entirely on microwave synthesis.
- Reproducible microwave synthesis methods verified to work well on all Biotage Microwave systems.
- Unique, non-published microwave synthesis transformations.
