Abstract
A system is disclosed for carrying out microwave assisted chemical reactions. The system includes a source of microwave radiation, a cavity in communication with the source, a plurality of reaction vessels in the cavity, a pressure line in fluid communication with at least one of the reaction vessels, a pressure transducer in communication with the pressure line, an electrical connector for the transducer in a wall of the cavity, and a shield around the connector that prevents microwaves launched into the cavity from interfering with electrical signals transmitted through the connector.

A system for carrying out microwave assisted chemical reactions, and comprising:
- a source of microwave radiation;
- a cavity in communication with said source;
- a reaction vessel in said cavity;
- a sensor in said vessel for measuring a physical parameter within said vessel;
- an electrical connector for said sensor supported on an inner wall of said cavity;
- a transducer adjacent said electrical connector;
- means substantially transparent to microwave radiation for communicating a signal from said sensor to said transducer;
- and
- a shield around said connector and transducer that prevents microwaves launched into said cavity from interfering with electrical signals transmitted through said connector.
