I would like to inform you that our handmade microwave reactor is currently out of stock. We have right now only 4 reactors: two in our own group at Maejo University and another two are being used in Silpakorn University and Walailak University, Thailand. (The one you have seen in the website is in fact the old model.

With those reactors, we have obtained many publications in international journals with impact factors. The newly developed handmade microwave reactor from our group will be available for sale again around this coming April. The price is certainly about 50% cheaper than the commercial reactor.
Another product we are pleased to present is the handmade peristaltic pump(
http://organic.mju.ac.th/peristaltic/ and
http://www.tarad.com/aliphatic/index.en.html ).
At the moment this pump has already been sold and used in many flow-based analysis laboratories in Thailand, such as the FIA group in Chiang Mai University (Dr. Jaroon& Prof. Kate Grudpan, a world-renowned FIA group) and another FIA group in Naresuan University, and an organic synthesis group in Silpakorn University, Thailand. The electronic circuit, mechanical system, microcontroller and software were employed by our graduate students to assemble the pump in our lab. The mechanical parts are being sent to a company to help change it from plastic to aluminium.
Compared to the commercial peristaltic pump of the same type as ours (digital controller and software supported), they are almost of the same efficiency, although with a big difference in price! (Our peristaltic pump is priced at about US$500.)
It will be very kind of you if you can pass this information about our products for research on to those who are interested. Thank you for your interest and hope to hear from you again.
