Flow Reactor

FlowLab™

Low cost, entry level, 2 channel flow chemistry system

FlowLabis an affordable and easy-to-use entry level flow chemistry system that is ideal for education, training and for those wishing to try flow chemistry without the associated costs of a sophisticated fully automatic system.

The system comprises of 2 high pressure pumps, a HotCoil™ coil reactor station and FlowLab system control software. A 5ml PTFE and a 5ml 316L stainless steel coil reactor and a fixed back pressure regulator (BPR) are included. The computer, pumps and HotCoil are connected over a LAN using an Ethernet HUB. In this way, the system can be operated remotely by Wi-Fi allowing the control computer to be conveniently positioned outside the fume cupboard and away from chemicals.

The pumps have a combined flow rate range of 0.01 to 20ml/min and will operate up to 100bar.

FlowLab Cold™

2 Channel entry-level, flow chemistry system with active cooling

FlowLab Coldis an affordable and easy-to-use entry level flow chemistry system that is ideal for education, training and for those wishing to try flow chemistry without the associated costs of a sophisticated fully automatic system.

The system comprises of 2 high pressure pumps, a HotCoil™ coil reactor station and FlowLab system control software. A 5ml PTFE and a 5ml 316L stainless steel coil reactor and a fixed back pressure regulator (BPR) are included. The computer, pumps and HotCoil are connected over a LAN using an Ethernet HUB. In this way, the system can be operated remotely by Wi-Fi allowing the control computer to be conveniently positioned outside the fume cupboard and away from chemicals.

This system can be operated remotely by Wi-Fi and the FlowLab control software auto-detects both the pumps and reactor module present

FlowLab Column™

2 Channel system for catalytic flow chemistry

FlowLab Column is an alternative configuration of the FlowLab system designed specifically for high temperature and pressure catalytic flow chemistry applications. At the heart of the system is a HotCoil heated reactor module fitted with a HotColumn adaptor. This can hold up 6 stainless steel HPLC columns in individual insulated holders. This configuration facilitates scale up whereby the required number of identical columns are simply connected in series. Different diameter stainless steel columns and holders are available

The flow path is constructed from 316L stainless steel and can operate at up to 100bar (200bar option) and 260oC (300ºC option). Pressure regulating non-return valves are fitted before the column reactor to prevent the possibility of back flow into the pumps at any time.
