The Voyager System provides four major advantages over the conventional method of scale up.

• Microwave synthesis provides better yields, cleaner chemistries, and access to some reactions that cannot be performed conventionally.
• It is much easier to scale up microwave parameters. The operator uses the same reactor and the same vessel on the larger scale, so the microwave parameters do not change and there is no time or material wasted re-optimizing the reaction.
• The user has the ability to run reactions at elevated pressures, which is not possible in conventional glassware at larger volumes. Some reactions have to be run at elevated pressures to get a good conversion.
• It's faster. The chemist only has to place the inlet lines in the proper reagent bottles and they're ready to go. Cleanup is automated, so there is no need to tear the system apart to clean it after every reaction.
