CaMWave™ Continuous-Flow Technology

The Cambrex CaMWave™ technology is an award-winning breakthrough in continuous-flow microwave-assisted reactions for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing.  Heated by either microwave or conventional means, CaMWave™ reactors are capable of handling solids, slurries and suspensions in continuous-flow at any scale.

CaMWave™ reactors are available for custom development and manufacturing with flexible working arrangements.

Benefits of CaMWave™ technology

• Faster reaction rates
• Higher yields
• Improved purity
• Reduced solvent and reagent usage
• Higher inherent safety
• Robust, fast scale-up
• Access to new chemical routes

The versatility of CaMWave™ technology allows laboratory protocols to be directly and quickly translated into manufacture of multi-kilograms. Redesign of the synthetic route is not necessary to avoid solids. Long-term operation has been proven.

The CaMWave™ KiloLAB reactor can process more than 100 L in 24 hours to produce in excess of 20 kg product. Larger CaMWave™ reactors are able to manufacture more than 200 kg in 24 hours and cGMP equipment is in development. The skid-mounted modular design utilizes current manufacturing plants keeping capital expenditure low and flexibility high.
