Introduction
About the Instrument
The MARS™ 6 Synthesis is a multi-mode microwave system that provides parallel reaction processing, under
uniform conditions. The power output on this particular system is programmable up to 1800 watts and uses an
advanced feedback system to monitor and control the rate of heating of the sample(s) in the cavity. The MARS 6
Synthesis Open Vessel Option includes an I/O Port located in the top center of the microwave cavity. This opening
permits the attachment of a reux condenser to the reaction vessel inside the microwave cavity. Any type of round
bottom ask may be used with the system with volumes ranging from 250 mL to 5 L. The sample stirrer is a
rotating magnetic eld in the bottom of the instrument which works in conjunction with stirring bars placed in the
vessel liners to ensure a homogeneous sample.
The MARS 6 Synthesis is designed to be operated in accordance with the guidelines outlined in this manual.
The GlassChem, EasyPrep™, and EasyPrep Plus™ are the only approved sealed vessels designed for synthetic
pressurized reactions performed in this system. Conventional laboratory glassware can only be used for microwave
reactions at atmospheric pressure.
This manual refers to MARS 6 software version 1.50 for all software information, including screenshots and
technical information.
This manual contains proprietary information which shall not be reproduced or transferred to other documents or
