UpScale Microwave's tools and methods enable seamless scale-up from early-stage R&D to manufacturing without changing synthetic methods.  Our proprietary microwave technology offers the opportunity to create materials at unparalleled scale in processes that are inherently cleaner, faster, and greener.  We have recently expanded our reactor capability to include a bench-batch reactor (0.05 � 1 L reaction volume) and a continuous-flow reactor with a maximum flow rate of 2 L/min.  These new reactors augment our existing floor-batch reactor (0.1 � 12 L reaction volume) giving a suite of microwave reactors capable of preparing materials from the laboratory bench top through to production.  The scope of scaled-up microwave chemistries with our reactors includes platform chemicals such as biphenyls, pharmaceutical intermediates and building blocks, OLED intermediates, and fuels such as biodiesel.  Our work in scaling microwave-assisted chemistry from bench to production highlights our ability to scale from 100's of grams to 100's of kilograms.
